WELCOME TO DOVERCOURT’S SPRING 2017 PROGRAMS! Dovercourt Recreation Association (DRA) is a not-for-profit charitable organization with the mission of building a healthy, active and engaged community through recreation. While we are part of the City of Ottawa’s recreation system, DRA is empowered to choose what programs it runs to meet the community’s needs, and how those programs are delivered. Our motto is “a community working for the community, une communauté qui travaille pour la communauté”. Staff, volunteers, clients, local community groups and businesses working together…that’s Dovercourt!

FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE We want the registration process to be as simple and convenient as possible. This means you have the option of booking in-person, over-the-phone, or online. And with Dovercourt offering lessons 7 days a week, you have a significant number of days and time slots to choose from.

Recognizing that some children benefit from smaller ratios, we also offer three types of classes – group lessons, limited enrolment, and private (one-on-one) classes.

Have a child attending summer day camp at Dovercourt? You have the option of adding swimming lessons to their day for a small added fee.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT SWIMMING LESSONS AT DOVERCOURT? Dovercourt Recreation Centre takes swimming very seriously. In addition to being an essential life skill, swimming is also an enormous life asset – from both a physical and mental health perspective. Bottom line, those who learn how to swim will have an enormous advantage in life.

Dovercourt staunchly believes everyone should have that advantage, and with this, has built a unique and reputable swimming program based on 4 key pillars:

• • • •

Quality of curriculum and instruction Comfort and functionality of facilities Flexibility and choice Access and inclusion

And as always at Dovercourt, if you have a need for something that isn’t currently available, let us know and we’ll do our very best to accommodate your needs.

ACCESS AND INCLUSION Access and inclusion quite simply means that everyone is welcome at Dovercourt.

Regardless of age, income, race, physical ability, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or gender identity our swimming program is open to all.

Dovercourt has offered low or no-cost classes to new Canadians, and our Last Minute Club provides free spots in swim classes that have failed to sell out at the start of the program.

QUALITY OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

And for anyone who wishes to register for swimming at Dovercourt but finds that the expense is cost-prohibitive, you can request a financial assistance form to see if you qualify for a subsidy.

The Dovercourt swimming program is based on the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life® model – a comprehensive approach that focuses on three fundamental strokes. Learning Swim to Survive® and achieving the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to Survive® Standard are key foundations of the Swim for Life® program.

SWIMMING INFLUENCES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE CHILD

While Swim for Life® forms the foundation of our swimming program, it is our highly-skilled instructors who ultimately make it the success that it is. Dovercourt swim staff undergo regular, extensive training on safety, current standards and teaching techniques. And our end-of-session “Survival Day” is unique to Dovercourt , with our instructors teaching children skills that could save their lives in real-life scenarios. Sessions conclude with detailed online report cards filled out by the instructors.

In addition to their consummate level of instruction, our staff also put a strong emphasis on fun, patience and kindness. Allaying fears and instilling confidence in budding swimmers is a top priority.

And we’re proud to say that many of our instructors were once students of Dovercourt’s swimming program themselves!

COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY OF FACILITIES Dovercourt is conveniently located in central west Ottawa. With plenty of parking, an extensive playground, and close proximity to the shops and restaurants of Westboro, Dovercourt offers convenience and ease for families both coming and going.

Once inside, you can enjoy our newly-built, bright family change room. During your child’s lesson, squeeze in a workout of your own and take advantage of the fitness centre with our $20 “Swim and Gym” pass. Or you can simply have a cup of coffee in our upstairs lounge where you can view your child’s lesson from above.

Our warm water pool features an easy-entry ramp, a variety of pods, and a multitude of instructional equipment and accessories – including a slide!

Some have said that swimming is a metaphor for life – we battle waves, go with the flow, try to keep our head above water – and of course, the proverbial sink or swim.

The comparison is apt when you examine the benefits of swimming on the development of the whole child. According to the German Sports College Cologne, learning to swim at a young age can contribute significantly to left and right brain development, healthy self-esteem, strong self-discipline, and even academic success.

SWIM LESSONS Why take swimming lessons at Dovercourt? Dovercourt’s highly-skilled instructors are able to teach children proper technique efficiently and effectively, in accordance with the high standards of the Lifesaving Society. Our end-of-session Survival Day is unique to Dovercourt and is a fun yet powerful way to teach children skills that could save their lives in real-life scenarios.

Our staff undergoes extensive training and regular updates on safety, rescue situations, changes to current standards, as well as techniques for teaching. Many of our senior aquatics staff are instructor and lifeguard trainers and are a valuable resource for our aquatics team. Our leisure pool is designed to teach swimming, with unique features like warmer water, a beach entry, rope swing and shallow & deep water pods.

We are proud of the quality of our swim lesson program at Dovercourt!

THE SWIM FOR LIFE® PROGRAM

Basic swimming ability is a requirement of any meaningful attempt to eliminate drowning in Canada. Swim for Life® is a comprehensive swim instruction program that focuses on the acquisition and development of fundamental swim strokes and skills for learners of all ages and abilities.

BABY-WEARING LATIN DANCE Moms (and dads) get fit with their babies by learning fun steps to the rhythmic beats of Salsa and other Latin dances such as Merengue, Rumba, Cumbia and Bachata.

Baby-Wearing Latin Dance class is open to everyone.

You don’t even need to know how to dance; the desire to share a special moment of music and movement with your child is all you need.

Salsa is soothing for a baby, since the rocking movements bring them back to the time they spent in utero. Your baby will love being swayed while in direct contact with you! We recommend that your child be at least 6-8 weeks old. Parents must provide their own baby carrier.

Our Commitment to children: As a HIGH FIVE® accredited organization, Dovercourt is committed to developing and delivering programs that are childcentered and reflect our values of respect, diversity and inclusion.

All of our program staff are trained and certified in HIGH FIVE: Healthy Child Development and our programs are evaluated regularly to ensure a high standard of quality.

Local Businesses help us build!

Corporate naming rights offer local businesses significant profile for their funding in a place where their employees and/ or customers live, work and play. Their contributions over a ten year period brand the room and help fuel our expansion project.

Dovercourt is delighted to welcome three local businesses who have stepped up to help us: Carling Motors Volvo & Mazda, Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics and Morris Home Team.
