Welcome Message Kamloops is home to a diverse number of outdoor recreational activities to engage in during the chilly winter months. Cold, clear days lend well to a multitude of activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

Not as common today is the sight and sound of horse drawn sleighs and the sound of jingling bells on the horses’ harness. With limited snow ploughing services, people from outlying neighbourhoods depended on horse and sleigh to get into town. Young people’s social groups and school classes enjoyed snowy outings on farmers’ wagons piled high with hay and pulled by sturdy plough horses.

Today, opportunities abound in the mountains and at a variety of horse ranches in the area for those who seek a good old-fashioned sleigh ride or a horseback ride through the snowy hills.

While the nature of outdoor recreational opportunities has evolved in Kamloops over the years, one thing has remained constant: the beauty of a sparkling white winter day with the sun shining bright in a clear blue sky, and the chance to walk, skate, slide, and play in Kamloops.

Services & Information

In years gone by, ski jumping was popular in the hills behind Royal Inland Hospital. Also, the hills around Kamloops have always been alive with the sounds of toboganners. In the days before car traffic was as heavy as it is today, First Avenue was often closed on snowy Saturdays so families could enjoy a spectacular ride down that long, steep hill. Today’s thrill seekers can enjoy these sports on local hills and mountains.

Robert Gilbert Robb Gilbert is the new Junior Archivist at the Kamloops Museum and Archives. In his first few weeks at the Archives he has enjoyed becoming immersed in Kamloops history and discovering the wealth of archival materials that are preserved at the KMA. In the coming year, Robb will be working on a project to arrange, describe, and preserve a number of archival collections to make them available for use by researchers and the wider public. The archival material documents the memory and heritage of Kamloops, and ranges from the papers of noted local families such as the Mansons and McLeans to more recent collections such as the records of David Ross, the former Director of the Western Canada Theatre Company.

aquatics

Kamloops Aquatics is committed to fostering a safe, positive aquatic environment by providing quality sport, recreation and wellness programs for a diverse population.

Did You Know?

To Parents of Little Swimmers:

For public health, and to avoid pool closures, anyone not toilet-trained must wear a swim diaper. Swim diapers can be purchased at the indoor pools or most retail stores.

Unlike regular diapers, a properly fitted swim diaper, whether a disposable or reusable type, prevents accidental fecal discharge without becoming saturated and heavy in the water.

Swim diapers are not, however, a substitute for frequent diaper changing and bathroom breaks during your swim.

Within Arm’s Reach for Your Child’s Safety Like most public pools across Canada, the City of Kamloops has an ‘Admission Policy’. The policy states that any child 6 years of age or under must always be accompanied in the water and be within arm’s length of a parent or other person 16 years of age or older. The ratio of children 6 years or under to parent/guardian must be no greater than three-to-one.

Sanctioned by the Lifesaving Society, the Admission Policy is not based on swimming ability but on age. Because young children do not necessarily have the ability to exercise appropriate judgment, comprehend pool rules, or take direction from staff, adult supervision is required to ensure their safety.

Your child’s safety is important to us. Drowning remains a leading cause of preventable death among young children in Canada. We appreciate your commitment to keeping within arm’s reach of your children and for leading the way for them to become water smart.

Justin Harvey

Justin has worked for the City since 2011. Justin is proud to have accomplished the high standards that the city requires of its lifeguards and he has learned to become confident and open-minded when dealing with the diverse situations he faces on the job.

As a swim instructor, Justin enjoys seeing the kids accomplish their goals and gain confidence while having fun in the water.

+I;? -@;H7DE;FK (DA9D3?

The ‘Swim University’ program uses a semester format so kids can progress through the Red Cross continuum at their own pace over an extended period of time. This format gives you a consistent start time and means you have to re-register less often. Swim University participants are grouped by ability and taught by an individual instructor.

children Bucket List For Kids Things they should do before they’re twelve The proposed activities on the bucket list are simple and cost little or nothing at all, making them especially attractive during this challenging economy.

Along with keeping children ¿t, research shows time outside in nature improves a child’s ability to focus and concentrate, key skills for learning, and also reduces depression. The list provides a “gentle reminder” to parents to make green play a priority, alongside other activities like ballet or hockey.

Aquafitness Aquafit is exercising through movement in water. Water generates natural ‘resistance’ which facilitates a full-body workout at your own pace and intensity.

Buoyancy promotes ‘low impact’ movement by decreasing the shock transmitted through your bones and joints.

Aqualite: For beginner to experienced exercisers looking for low intensity, low impact class in shallow water.

Aquafit: For all levels of exercisers looking for a low impact, high intensity class in shallow water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training.

Deep Water Aquafit: For intermediate to experienced exercisers looking for a no impact, high intensity class in deep water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training and require flotation belts which are provided.

Safe to Participate - PAR-Q and You Being more active is very safe for most people; however, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. All Aquafit participants must review the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) prior to participation. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor before participating.

For more details, please talk to the instructor or visit kamloops.ca/swim.
