message from the mayor
Welcome to the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s (RMOW) Spring/Summer Recreation Program Guide. This is your guide to all of the recreation programs offered by the municipality. There’s something for everyone in the guide from preschool and afterschool programs to summer camps, swimming lessons, fitness classes for adults and seniors, drop-in sports and youth programs. The RMOW manages the Meadow Park Sports Centre – Whistler’s community hub for sports, recreation and more. This multipurpose facility includes a six-lane pool, kids’ pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub, in addition to an arena, squash courts, weight room and fitness studio. Children’s summer swimming lessons are a great way to encourage active lifestyles, fitness, safety, and swimming skills around and in the water. This summer the Meadow Park Sports Centre will be offering all Red Cross Water Safety Lessons, from parented, to preschool to SwimKids classes. Families should book early for these popular lessons, which fill up fast. The municipality also provides programming through Myrtle Philip Community School, Whistler Secondary School, Spring Creek Community School, Spruce Grove Field House, Lost Lake Passivhaus, and Whistler’s Youth Centre, and maintains Whistler’s 31 community and neighbourhood parks and multi-use Valley Trail. Our community parks, public access to our lakes, and extensive Valley Trail provide access for strolling, cycling, and dog-walking and other leisure activities in spectacular natural settings. If you are looking for something fun for your kids to do during their summer break, we have the answer. The RMOW offers five unique camps and sports programs that are jammed packed with fun! Camps are offered at Myrtle Philip Community School and run from July 2 to August 29. Camp Summer Sunsations and Camp Breakout are designed for school-aged children and run Monday to Friday while the kids are out of school for the summer. Register early, because the camps fill up fast. Through our various recreational facilities, the municipality provides residents, second homeowners and visitors a variety of programs and flexible pass options to suit many needs. From drop in classes to programs that require registration to week-long camps for the kids, Whistler has something for everyone this summer. Whistler is recreation. We are fortunate to live in Whistler. It’s an active community with world class facilities, access to nature, and endless recreation opportunities. Have fun and stay safe this spring and summer! I look forward to seeing you out on the trails, on the mountains, in the parks, or at the Sports Centre.

This program provides a free membership to the Meadow Park Sports Centre for all Whistler Grade 5 and 10 students from September 30, 2013 until September 29, 2014.

By offering free admission to Meadow Park Sports Centre more young people are able to participate in recreational activities which will support the trend towards active living while addressing the issue of affordability.

Pam Deane, Recreation Programmer I came to Whistler from Ontario nearly twenty years ago and haven’t looked back! Originally here for the skiing, that changed to being a part of the community. Whistler is a fabulous place to raise kids and my three have lived the active Whistler lifestyle their whole lives. As my kids get older, it makes me realize what a great job I have even more. As the Preschool/Children’s Programmer at Myrtle Philip, I love meeting and getting to know new children and families in Whistler. When I’m not at the Community Centre, you can usually find me at Girl Guides, a swim meet, volleyball game or other event with my kids. Get involved with your passions and you will realize how fantastic Whistler really is!

Jocelyn Dubois, Head Lifeguard My name is Jocelyn Dubois and I recently began working as the Head Lifeguard at Meadow Park Sports Centre. I had the opportunity to move to Whistler a few months ago, and am very glad I made the decision to enjoy life here. I grew up in a small, snowy town outside of the City, so I think this is a good fit for me. I am looking forward to collaborating with both staff and patrons at Meadow Park Sports Centre and within the community of Whistler. In my position, I will focus on how swimming, fitness, and water safety can contribute to the healthy, active lifestyles that both residents and visitors to Whistler embody!

LEVEL
DESCRIPTION
RCSK 1
Swimmers receive an orientation to water and the pool area and work on floats, glides and kicking. Swimmers build their endurance by working on the 5m front swim.
RCSK 2
Swimmers work on propulsion skills to move through the water and to remain at the surface. Swimmers work on the front swim (5m) and learn about deep-water activities and proper use of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Fitness activities include the 10m flutter kick and a 10m distance swim.
RCSK 3
This level provides an introduction to diving, and teaches swimmers how to make wise choices about where and when to swim. Endurance is achieved by building strength in the flutter kick and a 15-metre swim.
RCSK 4
This level introduces the front crawl (10m) and back swim with shoulder roll (15m). Swimmers work on kneeling dives, surface support (45 seconds, deep water) and developing a greater sense of self-safety by understanding their own limits. Endurance is built through a 25m swim.
RCSK 5
This level introduces the back crawl (15m), sculling skills, whip kick on the back, stride dives and treading water. Front crawl increases to 15m. An introduction to safe boating skills is also included. Endurance is developed through a 50m swim.
RCSK 6
This level refines front crawl with a focus on hand entry and breathing (25m), back crawl with a focus on arm positions and body roll (25m), and introduces elementary backstroke (15m), safety on ice, and rescue of others with throwing assists. Swimmers demonstrate the front dive and their ability to tread water in deep water for 1½ minutes. Endurance is built through dolphin kick and a 75m swim.
RCSK 7
This level builds skills and endurance for the front crawl (50m), back crawl (50m) and elementary back stroke (25m) and introduces whip kick on the front. Swimmers learn about airway and breathing obstructions, reach assists and stride entry. Swimming endurance is increased to a 150m swim.
RCSK 8
This level is an introduction to breast stroke (15m) and feet-first surface dives. Swimmers learn about the dangers of open water, hypothermia, the performance of rescue breathing on children and adults, and standing shallow dives. Swimmers participate in timed treading water activities using the eggbeater skill for 3 minutes to improve their ability to remain at the surface in the event of an unexpected fall into water. Endurance is built on a 300m swim. Front crawl and back crawl distances are increased to 75m each.
RCSK 9
RCSK 10
Page 27
This level refines the front crawl (100m), back crawl (100m), elementary back stroke (50m) and breast stroke (25m), and encourages swimmers to combine different kicks for fitness (3 mins). They also work on head-first surface dives and learn about wise choices, peer influences and self-rescue from ice. Endurance is built through a 400m swim. This level is a final assessment of the strokes for technique and distance (front crawl 100m, back crawl 100m, elementary back stroke 50m, breast stroke 50m and sidestroke 25m). Swimmers learn about sun safety, rescue of others from ice, and head-first and feet-first surface dives. Endurance is built using the dolphin kick (vertical) and a 500m swim.
