FITNESS CLASSES For all dates, times and costs please go to www.wetaskiwin.ca

 Aquafit

Aquafit is a great way to add variety to your fitness routine. Improved muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness are just two of the many benefits you will gain from putting on your swimsuit and jumping into the water.

Aquafit uses the water for resistance. Low to zero impact is easy on bones and joints.

Enjoy a 1-hour class set to music. Work at your own pace, no swimming skills required.

 Deep Water Aquafit

Often recommended for rehabilitation, it is also used for general fitness and as an accelerated training method for athletes.

The natural buoyancy of the water reduces strain on your joints, bones and muscles by as much as 90 percent. Take advantage of this buoyancy while receiving a similar cardiovascular benefit to a traditional workout. Participants may choose to use a floatation belt.

 Stretch & Move

Perfect for people recovering from an injury, people with restricted mobility, seniors or those simply looking for light exercise.

Focusing on improving flexibility and mobility, participants who find exercising on land “challenging” can comfortably and safely be active in the water. Water is a forgiving medium, reducing joint compression and the downward pull of gravity. Enjoy this half hour class set to music; no swimming skills required.

Most older adults want to age in place in their own home and their own community.

What is “Aging in Place�?

Aging in Place means having the health and social supports and services you need to live safely and independently in your home or your community for as long as you wish and are able.

Why is having a plan important?

Planning for Aging in Place could help you improve your future and the future of your loved ones.

Making choices now could give you greater control over your independence, quality of life and dignity.

Making a plan will give you a better chance to have a satisfying and positive experience as you age, and will help you to age in place.

When should I start planning?

The earlier you start planning for Aging in Place, the more prepared you will be to respond to changes that may occur as you age such as changes in your health, finances, mobility or social connections. Being prepare for the future could help you make the most of your later years.

 French Immersion Registration

Canadian Parents for French - Wetaskiwin École Parkdale Thanks to the demand, parents in Wetaskiwin can enroll their children in French Immersion. Generally, students start in Kindergarten but they can start in Grade one – even if they have not attended a French Immersion Kindergarten. Parents are not expected to understand or speak French.

A wealth of resources is available to help parents support and encourage their child’s learning. Learning a second language has been shown to have a positive impact on intellectual growth. In fact, studies suggest learning another language can enhance cognitive and intellectual abilities. Give the gift of another Language to your child.

French Immersion is an academic Program provided by the Wetaskiwin Public School board. Have the benefits of small class sizes.

French Immersion courses extend to the High School. The advantages last a lifetime!!

Consider the options today.
