ABOUT THE POOLS - NEW CHANGES

Our top priority is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience at our facilities. Safety is paramount when it comes to pools and waterslides, and taking necessary precautions can greatly minimize the chances of accidents and injuries. This summer, our Recreation Excellence leadership team aims to emphasize the importance of implementing proper safety measures, waterslide rules, preventing contamination, and following facility policies.

Water slides add a huge element of fun to swimming pools, but to ensure the good times last, safety must always be the first consideration. In accordance with the manufacturer rules and best practices the waterslides are ONE RIDER SLIDES, the slider must be 42 inches tall and able to ride in a supine position.

Why am I not allowed to ride double with my child on the waterslide?

The force and speed of a double rider can cause riders to be ejected from the slide or lose control during the ride and collide with each other. The increased speed may make it more difficult to control movements and react to unexpected situations, leading to injuries and accidents.

In the event of an emergency or if one rider becomes distressed or disoriented during the ride, the presence of a second rider can complicate the situation. It may be challenging to provide immediate assistance or evacuate both riders safely, potentially delaying rescue efforts and increasing the risk of further harm.

We appreciate your understanding as we make great efforts to ensure all guests enjoy a safe ride on the waterslides.

Can I use the Splash Pad area with my kids?

The slides are for children 10 years of age and younger. Parents are more than welcome to assist their children on the splash pad structure; however, parents are not permitted to ride down the slide on the splash pad structure.

What is a safety check?

Staff will inspect the pool basin for hazards and contamination. Safety checks are conducted at 3:30pm and 6:30pm and require everyone to come out of the water and stay behind the “yellow line” for 10 – 15 minutes. We recommend taking this time to hydrate, re-apply sunscreen, or use the washroom.

What is a bag check?

Our facility strictly enforces policies and rules, such as bag checks, to maintain a secure environment for all visitors. Conducting bag checks at entry helps prevent prohibited and restricted items from entering the premises, to ensure our guests have a safe and fun overall experience.

Why can’t I go swimming right after eating food?

We advise you to wait at least 15 – 20 minutes after eating before you enter the pool. This allows your body to properly digest food and prevent fecal and vomit contaminations. By following these guidelines, we can collectively maintain a clean and healthy swimming environment for everyone to enjoy.

How can I find out more information?

You are welcome to send us an email at leth@recreationexcellence.com or contact our facility for any further questions you may have.

1 st Furrow Dug for SMRID , 1898

One hundred and twenty-five years ago, on 26 August 1898, Charles Ora Card ploughed the first furrow for the irrigation project that would become the St. Mary River Irrigation District (SMRID).

In the 1890s, the Galt company decided that it was necessary to build an irrigation system that would encourage agriculture and farming in southern Alberta. It was first necessary to get permission from the federal government to build the irrigation system.

Once that approval was received, it was then necessary to find investors, many of whom were from England, to supply the money to build the system.

Then it was necessary to find partners who would construct the system and could encourage farmers who understood irrigation farming to move to southern Alberta.

A partnership was created in 1898 with the LDS Church, who had become irrigation experts from farming the deserts in Utah. The deal was the LDS settlers would build the main canal from the St. Mary River to Lethbridge with branches to Stirling and Magrath. Ninety -five miles of canals were built initially. The LDS settlers who worked on

the canal were paid for the work half in land and half in cash. While the first furlough was dug in 1898, water reached Lethbridge through the canal on 4 September 1900.

Today the St. Mary River Irrigation District runs from south of Lethbridge to Medicine Hat. In September 2000, the St. Mary River Irrigation District erected this plaque and monument and installed the fountain in Henderson Lake.

Vulnerable - Little Brown Myotis

Did You Know?

The Little Brown bat ( Myotis lucifugus) is the most common bat in Alberta. Its fur is glossy, and varies in colour from dark brown, golden brown, reddish, to olive-brown. The wing and interfemoral membranes are nearly hairless and dark brown or black.

It measures just 8 to 10 cm in length, weighs only 7 to 9 gr, and has a wingspan of 25 to 27 cm.

This bat species can consume up to 1,000 insects in an hour. They must eat half ot

their body weight in insects per night to prevent malnourishment.

The Little Brown Myotis has a lifespan of more than 10 years, and one was even captured at 31 years old!

In the summer, females rear the pups and live separately from the males. At the beginning of winter, the males and females reunite and hibernate together. They are endangered in Canada. This status is mainly due to a fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, a disease that grows in caves where bats hibernate.

BE FIT FOR LIFE Fresh Food Season

'Tis the Season for Fresh Fruits and Veggies

One of the best parts of summer is the availability of locally grown fresh fruits and veggies! Great places the find them:

-the Lethbridge Farmer's Market on Saturdays at the Exhibition or Wednesdays in Festival Square

-local grocery stores like Urban Grocer, Save-On-Foods, Coaldale Food Market, London Road Market

-U-Pick strawerries are available at Broxburn, or saskatoons at Berg's Berries

-your garden!

Cooking with fresh ingredients make for delicious meals. Get the kids involved with picking the foods, trying them raw and then helping to prepare meals.

Fruit Breakfast - Add your favourite summer fruit to some yogurt. Sprinkle with oats, chia seeds and some chopped nuts.

Garden Greek Salad - Dice some tomatoes, chop some cucumbers, slice some sweet onion, spinkle in some feta cheese and olives if you like them. Splash in a little red wind vinegar and olive oil, mix and enjoy!

Garden Veggie Pasta - Lightly saute your favourite veggies wih some minced garlic, salt and pepper. Toss with cooked pasta, 1/2 cup of reserved pasta cooking water, salt and pepper. Add fresh herbs of your choice, some canned fish or beans and top with some grated cheese.
