How to have Successfull Swimming Lessons • Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give you child a tour of the facility.

• Have fun and swim with your child during a recreational swim prior to beginning lessons and practice skills they already know.

• Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your child to feel that there are no expectations to complete a level each session. Swimmers often need more than one set of lessons in order to gain the skills that will allow them to complete a level.

• Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a timely manner.

• If your child has a medical concern or a learning challenge, please speak to the instructor at the first lesson. This will allow us to help your child get the most out of their lesson.

Lesson Information • Please return your most recent progress card to your Swimming Instructor. These will be updated and returned on the last lesson.

• Participants will be screened on the first lesson to ensure they are enrolled in the appropriate level. We will do our best to get your child into the appropriate level. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a space in the level you require will be available during your current lesson time.

• Each swimming level has items that must be completed correctly a minimum of 3 times on separate lessons in order for that item to be complete. (According to the standards set by the Lifesaving Society.) Attendance is important in your child’s success in the program.

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers need to be at least 12 years of age and hold your Star Patrol or Swim Kids 10 badge. Volunteers are required to be available for the entire session. Please complete a volunteer application form and submit it to the Customer Service Rep at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. A staff member will contact you to set up your shift.

Preschool Program

Give your child a head start on learning to swim. The Lifesaving Society Preschool Program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep.

In our basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun acquiring and developing a foundation of water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Preschool levels.

Description

Preschool 1 30 minutes 3 – 5 years with parent

Preschool 1: In this transitional class we encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them know they can do it themselves (generally between lesson 3 and 5). These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll float and glide on their front and back and learn to get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater.

Preschool 2 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 1

Preschool 2: These preschoolers learn to jump into chest-deep water by themselves, and get in and get out wearing a lifejacket. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. Wearing a lifejacket they’ll glide on their front and back.

Preschool 3 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 2 Preschool 4 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 3

Preschool 3: These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while wearing a lifejacket. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They’ll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back.

Preschool 5 30 minutes 3 – 5 years Completed Preschool 4

Preschool 5: These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a lifejacket and treading water for 10 sec. They’ll work on front and back crawl swims for 5 m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.

Spend quality time with your child while you both have fun and learn and socialize.

Preschool Program (3 – 5 Y)

Give your child a head start on learning to swim. The Lifesaving Society Preschool Program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep. In our basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun acquiring and developing a foundation of water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Preschool levels.

Preschool 1 $60.60 30 minutes In this transitional class we encourage the parent to participate until their child lets them know they can do it themselves (generally between lesson 3 and 5).

Admission Policy for Recreational Swims WAC staff members are experts trained in aquatic emergencies. They are required to supervise all patrons in the pool and cannot act in a child care capacity. Parental supervision of all children under 10 years of age is strongly recommended during all pool visits.

Children aged 7 and under and children 8 – 10 years who are weak or non- swimmers • Must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision. A Maximum of 2 children for each parent/ guardian • Children wearing personal flotation devices (water wings, lifejackets etc) must be supervised at all times Children aged 8 to 10 years of age who are strong swimmers • May be admitted into the pool without direct supervision provided they are able to demonstrate the ability to pass the Aquatic Swim test. This test consists of a 25 meter swim completed comfortably by the swimmer without stopping or putting their feet on the bottom.

• Parents/ Guardians must remain in the facility until the swim test is completed successfully. If the child is unable to complete the swim test, the Parent/ Guardian will be required to participate with the child.

“Direct supervision” is defined as being in the water within arms reach and able to render immediate assistance.

Persons who have known seizure disorders or other serious medical disorders are at greater risk while swimming. Those individuals should be accompanied and supervised by another individual knowledgeable on their condition.

Wrist Band Policy In conjunction with our admission policy we will be issuing wrist bands to young swimmers.

• Children 7 years of age or younger will be given a RED ribbon for their wrist. These children must be accompanied in the water at all times by a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who must remain within arm’s reach at all times.

• Children 8 – 10 years of age will be given a YELLOW ribbon for their wrist if they wish to perform a swim test to see if they can swim unaccompanied. Parents or the guardian must be in the facility until the child has performed the swim test to ensure the child is able to swim alone.

• If the child passes the swim test, they can have their wrist band removed and will be written in the swim test book for future reference.

• If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a RED ribbon for their wrist and will be required to swim within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is in the pool.

Beginners and experienced carvers work next to each other with senior carvers providing guidance and assistance to less experienced carvers and those new to the art and craft.

Over the year, meetings also include carving classes, guest instructors, and demonstrations. Members enjoy access to an excellent growing library of reference books, demonstration videos, patterns, and other study materials.

Wilmot Jujitsu - Professional Self Defense

Church Men’s Fastball League

Wilmot Jujitsu abides by the traditional values of Jujitsu, where the passing of knowledge of the art is of primary importance. We believe that the true values of Jujitsu transcend its technical aspects of training; more important are the developments of mental and moral characteristics such as: Patience, Courage, Self Control, Self Confidence and Humility.

At Wilmot Jujitsu we practice the following arts: Shinki Ryu Jujitsu, Genbukan Ninpo (tai jutsu), International Motobu Ha Shito Ryu Karate, and Hiden Mugai Ryu Iaido.

Shinki Ryu Jujitsu is an effective self defense system and is the foundation of what is taught. It is designed to enhance the confidence of the practitioner while training in a friendly, relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere.

Advanced Practitioners are allowed to train in both Karate/ Kobujutsu and Iaido/Kenjutsu.

Genbukan Ninpo is offered to advanced students of Shinki Ryu or to students that are specifically interested in Genbukan Ninpo. Ninpo Bugei focuses on teaching the illumination, awareness and defense of mind, body and spirit. It is the essence of traditional Ninjutsu techniques.

This is restricted to adult students ages 14 and up.

Wilmot Jujitsu teaches young children (ages 5-9), youth (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 14 and up).
