The water is a perfect environment for women to prepare for a birth and to recuperate following nine months of weight gain and body shape changes. The water counteracts the effect of gravity by unloading the joints and greatly reducing impact. The water provides multi-directional resistance for balanced muscle work and allows individuals to change the workout intensity to suit their needs. An overall refreshing workout! WMRC Swimplex

SWIM GENERAL INFORMATION
SWIM LESSONS LET’S GET STARTED!
The most important step is to make sure your child is placed in the right swim level. Staff reserves the right to move a child to a different level if the class is too challenging, so it’s best to get it right before classes start. If you’re uncertain what level your child should be in, and/or the child has been out of lessons for a year or more, call the Swimplex at 519-886-1177 to arrange a free swim level evaluation. Or follow the recommendations from the child’s last progress report card, and review the detailed standards of performance for each level. Ask for details at Customer waterloo.ca/swim/swimlevels. Requests for specific instructors are considered, however we are unable to guarantee all requests. Registrations are accepted up to the start of the third lesson.
If your child requires one-on-one support in our group lessons, please call the inclusion coordinator up to 3 weeks in advance to complete a membership registration, 519-741-2200 ext. 7228. Volunteers are subject to availability.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Swimmers should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time and not earlier. Parents can escort their child on the first day to meet the instructor. Afterwards, spectators can watch swimmers from the second floor observation gallery. One parent is asked to meet the instructor on deck during the last 10 minutes of the sixth lesson to receive a verbal progress report.
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR SWIM EXPERIENCE
A written progress report is provided at the last lesson and will identify the next recommended swim level. Badges may be purchased at the customer service desk for all Waterloo Splash and Preschool levels.
Shower with soap and water before your swim lesson.
Photography or videotaping is only permitted on the last day of lessons, subject to advance staff approval. The use of cell phones and PDAs is strictly prohibited in City of Waterloo recreation facility change rooms, washrooms, pool decks and gallery.
Leave your valuables at home and bring a lock to secure your belongings. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Footwear is not permitted on the pool deck. Be prepared to go barefoot, or purchase reusable shoe covers at the customer service desk for 75¢. Children who are not fully toilet trained must wear watertight elastic pants or specially designed disposable swimming diapers, available at the customer service desk for $2.00. Do not send a child to lessons if they are not feeling
34
well. Pool fouling affects all lessons. If a pool fouling happens, lessons are conducted on the pool deck instead of in the water. Refunds/credits are not given for pool foulings.
In the event of bad weather, listen to local radio stations in case the program has been cancelled unexpectedly. We are unable to make up lessons cancelled due to emergency closures, but will credit the value of the missed class.

PARENT & TOT 3 (2-5Y)
This is an advanced level for 2–5 year-olds. They'll have fun jumping into the water and getting out without assistance.

A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1-24 hours. Here are some healthy habits you can take to stop the spread of germs and reduce the number of closures: • Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear “I have to go” may be too late. • The use of a swim diaper is mandatory to enter the pool if a child is not yet fully toilet trained. • Do not swim if you are feeling sick or have been sick in the past 24 hours. This is especially important for children in diapers.
Thank you for your assistance in keeping our pool clean!

Respect property boundaries Extending your property on to public land or natural areas is not permitted. Mowing or pruning natural areas, or using public land for garbage, yard waste, sheds, fences, play equipment, composters, vehicles and bird feeders smothers native vegetation, introduces non-native species, compacts soil and causes erosion. Respect our wildlife Waterloo is home to non-poisonous snakes, which are beneficial because they help keep local rodents in check – more so than cats! A snake will slither away when startled and will not hurt you. Respect wildlife and their habitat by observing wildlife from afar to avoid confrontation. Mammals and birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects foster healthy forests. Please do not destroy burrows, nests or other habitat and remember to always stay on designated trails.
IN YOUR CITY
HELP US PROTECT WATERLOO’S NATURAL AREAS Don’t disturb natural areas Ferns, leeks, berries and wood found in natural areas should be left alone. Planting vegetation, removing vegetation (including wood for firewood), controlling wildlife, creating new foot paths and dumping are all detrimental to Waterloo’s delicate ecosystems. The accumulated effect of these activities is costly to tax payers and creates great problems for the natural area. Plants are depleted past restoration, habitat, food and nutrients are lost, soils can become eroded, and invasive plants become established. Try planting your own native plants, found at most garden stores, in your own backyard to enjoy. This will help keep native plants for our wildlife and future generations. Drain pools and hot tubs properly Chemicals in hot tubs and pools can be harmful to vegetation and water features when drained into a park or natural area. Place the drain tube on your property, away from the park or natural area, to allow water to filter into the soils in your yard.
Be a steward of your neighbourhood’s natural areas through our Partners in Parks program To find out more, contact: City of Waterloo Environment and Parks Services P. 519.886.2310 TTY. 1.866.786.3941 E. environment@waterloo.ca
