Change is good - especially in a fitness room.

Based on your feedback, we have reconfigured the fitness centre to improve its functionality & flow and inevitably the enjoyment of your workouts.

We have also replaced several pieces of cardio equipment, added some new strength machines and created an area for stretching.

So come check it out. If you have questions, just ask. We are here to show you how to safely incorporate weights and other equipment into your workout.

Get active, stay active.

Get active with the City of Kelowna’s

Recreation & Cultural Services. The Fall Activity & Program Guide is full of things to do and try – some new and some old favourites but everything is fun. Whether you want fitness, learning, personal development or just something to do as the weather changes, you can exercise your muscles or exercise your mind in our programs, events and facilities.

Summer may be ending but fun with our programs and activities continues. Fall is the perfect time to round up your family and friends and get active together. Or, if you are in need of ‘me time’, we can help find something just for you. Our Program Coordinators have been working hard to develop programs and activities for everyone so look inside our guide and see what interests you.

Please remember that registration is always a busy time but our staff will be happy to help you register. Whether it’s one of our many group fitness classes to get active, a new sports league to test your abilities or a family program to keep you playing together, we want to ensure everybody gets to play and fully engage in a healthy, active lifestyle. As you review this guide I am confident you will discover a program or service that appeals to you and encourages your commitment to a healthy mind and body.

Stop in and see us or give us a call but don’t miss the opportunity to get involved this fall.

12 AQUATICS Red Cross Swim Kids A healthy life through swimming When you choose the Red Cross Swim Kids program, you’re getting: • A program based on research • Proven excellence in teaching • Strokes and safety skills – the combination that saves lives • A focus on fitness and personal performance

10-level program for children 6 years and up Help your child develop a healthy lifestyle through swimming. Your child will learn to swim and stay safe in a fun environment that promotes a personal best and celebrates individual success.

The 10 levels allow for solid progression. Children learn competitive and survival strokes, and build their distance and speed, while focusing on making safe decisions in, on and around the water.

In each level, participants are evaluated based on performance criteria and progress to the next level once all criteria have been successfully completed.

Tennis Tennis - Greenball Fundamentals

Instructor: Norma Lundgren Location: Parkinson Recreation Centre Tennis Courts Full Court Tennis for 10-12 year olds. Players will move to full court once they have a full repertoire of skills at the 3/4 court. For some very highly skilled players this will be at 8 years of age, however for most players who have gone through the half and 3/4 court programs, this transition will take place at 10 years of age. There will also be some late starters or less athletic players who will make this transition at 10-11 years of age.

This transition to full court tennis will take place in a two step process.

The first step will be with a transition ball which provides a more lively bounce then the low compression ball but not as much as a bounce as the regular ball (this will help promote the continued development of proper technique). This will help ensure longer points. The final step will be using the regular ball.

The key is to develop the same tactics as full court tennis along with the associated techniques. Players will move to 3/4 Court once they have a full repertoire of skills at the half court. For most players who have gone through the half court program this transition will take place at 7 years of age. There will also be some late starters or less coordinated players who will make this transition at 8-9 years of age.
