• Extra support is needed at home for basic care such as dressing and toileting.

SWIMMING LESSON INFORMATION

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SWIMMING LESSONS Support your child’s learning through participation in the recreational swimming programs. Set realistic goals for your child, encouraging them to do their best. Learning to swim can be enjoyable, but like many skills, it takes time, practise and patience.

It is important to remember that each swimmer advances at his/her own pace.

Not completing a level the first time, or even the second time, simply means there are important skills to continue to improve upon. Success in swimming lessons comes in many different forms - learning new skills, increasing confidence, and gaining a feeling of accomplishment.

WHAT LEVEL SHOULD I REGISTER IN? Visit our pool and one of the Aquatic Staff can assist you in determining what level to register in. The Department of Parks and Recreation offers free swimming lesson assessments. Please contact the Deck Supervisor on duty to request a screening during scheduled leisure swim times.

REPEATING A LEVEL? Show your last report card to the Instructor to allow practise time on skills requiring development. To progress to the next level, all items must be completed.

LESSON START TIME Participants should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). You may wish to escort your child to their lesson on the first day to meet the Instructor. Please remove outdoor shoes in the shower area and pool deck.

22

DECK SUPERVISOR There is a designated Deck Supervisor on deck and available to answer your questions or concerns. They also provide a link between you and the instructor. Ask and the Deck Supervisor will be happy to assist you.

CHANGE ROOM ADMITTANCE GUIDELINE For the comfort of all patrons, children 7 years of age and older must use the appropriate change room of their own gender. If this is not suitable a family change room is available.

PARENT’S DAY Parent’s Day will take place during the 5th lesson. Parents are invited on deck to watch their child’s swimming lesson and take pictures. Classes will end 5 min. early to give parents the opportunity to talk to their child’s instructor about their progress. If you wish to visit on deck, please remember to remove your shoes! Please note that picture taking is only permitted on Parent’s Day

MAKE-UP LESSONS Occasionally lessons may be cancelled due to pool fouling, mechanical, or chemical problems. Makeup classes due to participant’s illness or personal commitments will not be available. Dry-land water safety lessons are part of all learn-to-swim programs. Where a pool may close in an untimely manner, Instructors will use the time to focus on dry land water safety. If this is not possible, a credit may be issued for the missed class.

POOL FOULING/CLOSURE To reduce the number of closures due to pool fouling, participants not toilet trained are required to wear snug fitting plastic pants. No disposable diapers. Also, please keep eating to a minimum prior to swimming. Swim diapers are available at the Customer Service Desk.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS Do not leave valuables and belongings unattended in change rooms or cubicles. Use lockers or take belongings to your program area. The Town of Aurora is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

CELL PHONES, FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY Please note that to ensure the privacy of others, the use of cell phone devices, filming or photography will not be permitted in the change rooms, viewing gallery or pool area during swimming programs or recreational swims.

STROLLER Strollers are not permitted on the pool deck or in the shower area. Please use the designated stroller parking area located in the family change room.

FAMILY CHANGE ROOM The family change room is for mixed gender families, unaccompanied children and persons with identified special needs and their caregiver. Everyone else is encouraged to use the gender specific change rooms.

Town of Aurora | Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services | www.aurora.ca

PARKS & TRAILS PEDESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM The Town of Aurora is fortunate to have an extensive pedestrian trail system which connects many of its neighbourhood parks, Town facilities and open space corridors. At present the Town maintains approximately 25 kilometers of trails.

All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross-country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times. Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions.

OUTDOOR WINTER SKATING The Town currently constructs four outdoor ice skating rinks within our neighbourhood parks. These are located at Town Park, Confederation Park, Machell Park and Ada Johnson Park. The ice rinks consists of a natural surface and are weather permitting, with construction typically taking place in the early New Year. All rinks are lit for evening skating and are mixed use; with hockey and pleasure skating taking place on the same rink. We ask users to respect others and wear protective gear at all times while on the ice.

TOBOGGANING Due to the undulating topography in the Town, it is common for residents to utilize non-designated areas for tobogganing. The Town does not recommend using these areas as dangers are prevalent. Tobogganing is permitted in the following dedicated areas: Fleury Park (south of Aurora Heights Dr. and the ACC parking lot), Machell Park (north of the parking area on the west side of the park), AFLC Lambert Willson Park (along the east side of the building) and Copland Park (along the north side of the park). Tobogganers are reminded that these designated locations are unsupervised by the Town and surface areas can vary widely with ice and other hazardous conditions. All tobogganers using these facilities do so at their own risk. Children should be supervised by an adult and all participants should use appropriate safety equipment.

PARK BENCH DONATION PROGRAM In response to requests from our residents who are regular users of our parks and trails, the Parks, Recreational and Cultural Services Department is pleased to provide a Park Bench Donation Program. You can be part of the program and partner with the Parks Division in donating a park bench, with a personalized message of your choice which will be adhered to the bench. Your bench will be installed in a location of your choice in our parks or trails system and our staff will ensure that your bench receives the care and maintenance it deserves for years to come. Our Park Bench Donation Program would make a great gift for that special person who is hard to buy for and will truly be a gift that keeps on giving to all of those in need of a place to rest in our parks and along our trail system. For more information on the Park Bench Donation Program, please visit the Town of Aurora website.

For more information, please contact the Parks Division at 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 or by email at EHorton@aurora.ca

MEMORIAL TREE PROGRAM The Town of Aurora has a Memorial Tree Planting policy to enable the planting or designation of memorial trees on municipal lands within the Town. For more information on the Memorial Tree Planting Policy, please visit the Town of Aurora website.

TOWN OF AURORA’S ADOPT-A-PARK PROGRAM Over 700 acres of Parkland, an outstanding Trail System and friendly treelined streets contribute to Aurora’s natural beauty and make it a place we are proud to call home.

Did you know that the Adopt-A-Park program provides local businesses, community groups and residents with the opportunity to enhance the environment and beautify our town by assisting with the maintenance and developement of Aurora’s parks and trail systems? This program is known for: • Creating the opportunity for citizens to support our parks and green spaces.

• Sharing the responsibility for a clean community.

• Developing opportunities for youth involvement.

• Building community pride and a sense of ownership in our parklands.

Including tree and shrub plantings, there are a number of ways for individuals or interested groups and organizations to become involved in this exciting program.

Please contact the Parks Division at 905-727-3123 ext. 3233 for further information or email ehorton@aurora.ca.
