What to Expect from Swimming Lessons

Progress Evaluation

Developing swimming skills requires a lot of practice and positive feedback to be successful. We encourage you to talk with your child about his/her lessons. Make sure that you have realistic expectations and your child feels no pressure to “pass” a level. You both should acknowledge the importance of completing the skills taught in each lesson at a pace that is suitable for your child. Swimming lessons are a long-term progression.

Deck Supervisor We have, during all lesson times, a deck supervisor available to you. If you have any concerns, questions, or comments please do not hesitate to communicate with this designated person at any time. They are available to you to make sure your child is having a safe and fun lesson every time.

First Lesson In our effort to ensure that your child receives the best possible instruction, we ask that you bring your child’s most recent report card with him/her to the first lesson.

This will help your swim instructor tailor their classes to effectively meet the needs of each child.

Fifth Lesson On the fifth lesson for each session we offer parents and guardians an opportunity to take photos of their child swimming.

As well, instructors will end the class 5 minutes early to do a mini-evaluation and talk to parents about any concerns they may have. Please ask the deck supervisor for more details.

50

All participants in swimming lessons are evaluated on an ongoing basis throughout the session. Parents or guardians may talk with instructors at the beginning or end of each class about any concerns.

Registration and Transfers Registration will be permitted as long as space is available in the classes. Transfers will be permitted for the first 2 weeks of lessons. Talk to the deck supervisor immediately if you feel your child needs to be transferred, so we can make the switch as soon as possible.

Waiting Lists If your child cannot be placed in any of your class choices, he/she will be placed on a waiting list, in numerical order, for your requested class time. If a spot opens staff will contact you and inform you that a spot has opened up and you will have 24hrs to register for your reserved spot.

If you are registered in a class already, we cannot put you on a waiting list for another class.

We Cancelled It Sometimes excellent programs with super instructors are cancelled when too many people wait until the last minute to register.

Don’t wait, avoid disappointment and register early! Classes with low enrolment will be either cancelled or combined with another level approximately 10 days prior to the start date.

Instructors, Assistant Instructors and Volunteers All classes will be taught by a qualified instructor. Our instructors have spent more than 200 hours taking courses

Recreation & Leisure Guide

and volunteering in aquatic instructional programs to prepare them to teach your children. As well, our assistant instructors are assigned to programs each evening.

They are our future instructors and have spent more than 100 hours taking courses and volunteering in preparation to assist with classes. The assistant instructors are assigned to classes the supervisor feels would most benefit from their involvement.

Concerns or Questions?

Your feedback is very important to us as it helps us provide quality programs and successful aquatic experiences. A pool deck supervisor is on duty at all times during our lesson programs. As lesson experts, the supervisors are available to answer your questions and assist with any of your concerns. Should you have a concern, do not hesitate to speak with a pool deck supervisor immediately.

We encourage you not to wait until the last class.

Inclement Weather During inclement weather, please check the city’s website (www.cityofwoodstock.ca) and the city of Woodstock Facebook page for any cancellations.

Missed a Lesson?

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of swimming participants, we are unable to make up or reschedule missed lessons.

Lessons or program sessions missed by participants will not be rescheduled or refunded. If you miss the last lesson, you may pick up your progress report at Southside Aquatic Centre.

Spring/Summer 2020

We review all requests for specific instructors or specific gender of instructors; however we are unable to guarantee that any specific request will be granted.

Descriptions

Give your child a head start in learning to swim. The City of Woodstock Learn to Swim Program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before 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.

Lifesaving Society Class Structure Our lessons are structured following the Lifesaving Society Swim for Life Program, which sets out student to instructor ratio based on research and past practices to ensure each candidate has a successful experience. We do our best to provide a positive experience for all of our swimmers within those rations.

To ensure that everyone gets a swimming lesson experience it is possible that we may combine levels to ensure for your convenience we can limit the possibility of having to make adjustments to your swim times. Each student is evaluated as an individual and a combined class will not affect how they progress.

How to Register You can register online at www.cityofwoodstock.ca/onlineregistration, by calling Southside Aquatic Centre, or in person at Southside Aquatic Centre or Lions Pool. Please always select a couple of times that work well with your schedule so we can place you into a class easily.

If you are not sure where to register your child, ask their current instructor or come in during a public swim time so we can do an assessment. Payment must be made at the time of registration.

Swim for Life Program A one-to-one or a two-to-one instructional setting to provide extra attention to a specific skill. Semi Privates can be requested with any private lesson registration. The City of Woodstock does not provide matches. Private and semiprivate lessons run for 30 minutes. We can take private lesson requests; call 519-421-7665 to submit your requests.

Playgrounds

The City of Woodstock has 39 playgrounds located in 51 parks and 9 parkettes. The replacement and upgrading of playground equipment with city funds remains a challenge that the community can help us with. Local community groups and School Parent Councils can help to expedite the replacement or enhancement of playgrounds in their area through local fundraising. City staff will meet with interested citizens or groups to help develop a fundraising plan for your playground. By getting involved in this way, you’ll assist us in designing a playground that not only meets safety standards but reflects your community’s special needs.

If you would like to discuss fundraising for your neighbourhood or would like to sponsor a playspace please call the Parks and Recreation office.

If you notice damage to city parks please contact the Park office at 519-539-2382 Ext. 4101.

Hosting Festivals & Events in Woodstock Planning a Festival or Event?

The urban forest is made up of all the trees growing in the City of Woodstock, including city owned street and park trees, trees in forested areas, as well as trees on private property. Trees are an important part of Woodstock’s urban landscape, and provide a wide variety of social, health, aesthetic, economic and environmental benefits. The City’s Forestry Department manages Woodstock’s urban forest using a long-term, sustainable strategy of development and maintenance in order to provide a healthy green cover on public lands.

Arbor Day

Tree Planting Ceremony The City of Woodstock recognizes the importance that festivals and events can play in our community. They contribute to our quality of life, local economic development and community identity.

The city intends to be proactive in attracting new events, as well as working with existing event organizers to support the success of their activities.

We can assist event organizers in identifying the permits and approvals required to provide a safe and successful event. Anyone planning an outdoor festival or event must first contact the Parks & Recreation Department to obtain event guidelines to ensure all requirements for hosting an event are in place. For more information contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 519539-2382 Ext. 4101.

Recreation & Leisure Guide

Each year Woodstock celebrates Arbor Day by planting trees at a preselected school in our community. Students, teachers, parents, local community groups and City staff join together to help plant a variety of trees and shrubs.

Arbor Day originated in Nebraska in 1872 where a day was set aside and over a million trees were planted. This idea quickly spread to neighbouring states and to Canada. Today we still celebrate by planting trees each spring in Woodstock.

Do your part to green up Woodstock by participating in Arbor Day activities by planting a tree at your residence.

Join us this year on April 25th for our Tree Planting Day. For more information contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 519-539-2382 Ext. 4101.

Spring Clean Up

Please join us on April 18th (RAIN or SHINE) to help make Woodstock more beautiful! Meet at the Parks Department Shop: 192 Old Wellington St. South. Enjoy a free BBQ at the Parks Department after the Clean-up! Everyone is welcome and appreciated: Individuals, Groups, Teams, Families and Neighbours!

For more information contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 519-539-2382 Ext. 4101.

Watering Young Street Trees The goal is moist soil as far as 8 to 12 inches below the surface.

• For the first three years, young trees need weekly watering from mid-April to mid-October.

• Probe your soil below the surface before watering. If the soil feels moist and sticky, allow it to dry for several more days before watering. If the soil feels dry and crumbly, water deeply once a week.

• Water deeply by setting your hose on a slow trickle at the base of the tree or use a soaker hose around the tree. On average, your tree will need 15 gallons of water per week.

• Remember that lawn watering will not replace the need to deeply water young trees.

• Mulch will keep soil temperatures cool, retain water, and discourage weeds. It will slowly decompose and should be replenished as needed during the first three growing years.

• Fertilizer is not recommended at planting time. Trees come with enough fertilizer from the nursery, and over time mulch will provide new nutrients to the tree.

• Avoid using “weed and feed” fertilizers. They contain herbicides that can damage or kill young trees.

Pruning

All pruning will be done by the City of Woodstock Parks Department staff. Any damages done to a street tree by a homeowner pruning may include a fine of the removal and full cost of a replacement tree. Please contact the Park and Recreation office at 519‑539‑2382 Ext. 4101 with any tree inquiries.

Weeding and Protecting Keeping your tree out of harm’s way

Mulching Young Trees 4 feet in diameter, 4 inches from the trunk, and 4 inches deep The City of Woodstock places mulch around the new street tree, but not around the trunk which creates a healthy environment for the tree. Please follow the next guidelines.

• Remember the 4x4x4 rule: spread mulch in a 4-foot diameter around the tree, 4 inches away from the trunk, and 4 inches deep.

72

Recreation & Leisure Guide

• Weeds and grass compete with trees for water and nutrients. They are also allopathic (they produce a chemical which inhibits other plant growth, including trees).

• Do not use weed trimmers or lawn mowers near the base of trees. Hand-pull weeds instead.

When the thin bark of young trees is injured, the bark will split and die back. This can cause disease, unwanted pests, and the sun to scald the bark, resulting in decay or death.

• For optimal tree growth and health, keep a four foot circle around your young tree clear of grass, weeds, or other plant life.
