accessibility information
A city where everyone can live, work and play. Accessible Pickering
Accessibility Advisory Committee
The City of Pickering is committed to providing our community with accessible programs, services and resources. Accessible Pickering is an easy and convenient way to access information online about accessibility within Pickering and the broader community. Visit pickering.ca/accessibility.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) was formally established through By-law 6211/03, and held its first meeting in April, 2003. At least 50% of the membership of the Committee must include members of the community who have a disability. City Council consults the AAC about the requirements and implementation of accessibility standards, the preparation of multi-year accessibility plans and accessibility reports, and other related matters. As well, City Council seeks the AAC’s advice on accessibility for people with disabilities with respect to buildings that the City constructs, purchases, significantly renovates, leases or declares a municipal capital facility. Further, the AAC reviews site plans and drawings from developers. Elements of a site plan that may impact accessibility include: buildings, driveways, entrances, curbs or ramping, parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping, fences, exterior lighting, and municipal services.
Members of the community with disabilities are welcomed and encouraged to participate in community programs and activities of their choice. Our goal is to assist in the integration of people with disabilities into programs offered, or to offer special needs programs of interest.
Programs City of Pickering staff will work with you to ensure a safe and fun recreational experience. Contact the Accessibility Coordinator, at 905.420.4660 ext 3608 • if you are interested in registering for a program, to discuss your choice and/or support that you may require • if you have any special needs program suggestions, or group activities that you may be interested in

information
Learn to Swim Information Learning to swim is a progressive process
lessons aquatics Can I make up lessons?
Your child will progress along the learning continuum at his/her own rate, and it may take more than one session to complete each level. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s lessons, please do not hesitate to talk to the on deck supervisor immediately. We appreciate your feedback and can usually solve your concerns as soon as we know about them.
Please plan your schedule carefully for swimming lessons because there will be no make-up lessons or credits for missed classes. Please see our refund policy for more information. If we cancel classes due to inclement weather, pool fouling, etc., we will do our best to add additional classes at the end. If we cannot make up the class you will be credited for the missed lesson.
What level should I enrol in?
Can I watch my child during lessons or can I leave?
Take a look at the descriptions below each swimming level for the prerequisites for each level. If you are still unsure of the appropriate level, or if you have not taken lessons with us before, we can arrange for an assessment by one of our aquatic staff.
Taken lessons before?
Please review your child’s progress report at the end of each session to determine if your child has completed all the knowledge and skill items necessary to progress to the next level.
Experience has shown us that your child is better able to concentrate on his/her swimming lessons without additional on-deck distractions. You are welcome to watch your child from the upstairs viewing area at the Recreation Complex or the foyer at Dunbarton Pool. We suggest that you do not leave the premises as lessons run for 30 or 45 minutes. We will have Open House on weeks 5 and 10 for lessons at the Recreation Complex and weeks 3, 5, and 10 at Dunbarton Pool. During this time you are welcome to remove your street shoes and stay on the pool deck.
Please help us to prevent cancellations by feeding your child after lessons or at least one hour before.
What do we bring?
Just a swimsuit and a towel. Some people like to wear goggles when they swim, but they are not necessary. All children who are not toilet trained are required to wear a plasticized bathing suit or plastic pants over their bathing suit. Please, no disposable diapers. Also, if you have progress reports from previous swimming lessons it is a good idea to bring those to the Instructors. This will give them a better idea of any remaining skills that need to be worked on.

Through fun activities, swimmers perform a front and back swim for 10 metres. Swimmers work on developing their flutter kick and perform a distance swim of 15 metres. Safety skills include identifying safe swimming areas, jumping into deep water, swimming 5m, surface support for 20 seconds and return to safety, throwing assists and sitting dives. Swimmers are evaluated based on performance criteria and complete the program once all criteria have been achieved.
