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-ofsession 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! Read more on our website: www.dovercourt.org/ enterprise/OurPool_Whatsdifferent

Kindermusik is a music and movement program. Each week in class you’ll play, listen, and dance to music that will impact you and your child in profound ways. A Kindermusik educator will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child’s overall growth and development. For more info about our instructor and more Kindermusik programs see www.musicandmemories. ca. Take home materials (available online) are included in course fees.

BABY-WEARING LATIN DANCE TAEKWONDO 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. BabyWearing 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.

• Wed 1:00-1:50pm, Jan 24 – Mar 21, RFAW12 – $126

BABY-WEARING BALLET

Special attention is given to muscle toning and stretching particular to arduous ballet training, all with your baby secured to you in your carrier.

We recommend that your child be at least 6-8 weeks old.

Regular physical activity is essential for healthy development at any age and we want to show our youth that workouts don’t have to be WORK. Want to swing from the ceiling? Well, we’ve just made that happen. Sign up your kiddos for Aerial Play for Youth, where they will enjoy a swinging, soaring exercise program while enjoying a healthy dose of fun. The approach to the program is laid back with a focus on participation, not competition. Aerial Play works with the principles of healthy athletic development and assists in building strength, mobility and neuromuscular coordination in a way that doesn’t seem like boring, traditional exercise. Parents are welcome to register as well, or your children can

work on developing their independence and autonomy by coming on their own or with friends. This program is geared towards youth 11-14 years of age. Not sure if this is right for you? Send us an email at fitness@dovercourt. org and we will help you decide!

YOGA FAMILY Active lifestyles start at home. We want to give you back your family time while modelling healthy behaviors, like participation in regular physical activity.

Family yoga is designed to help your child develop a positive relationship with their bodies and their minds while helping them develop strength and creativity. Some benefits include, helping with concentration, attention as well as learning simple ways to help soothe and calm themselves.

These classes will allow the participants a chance to move and strengthen their bodies and their minds while learning to accept their similarities and differences with others.

It is a chance to participate in a non-competitive practice, while taking a break from the business of school and other activities. Families with children of all ages are welcome in any of our family yoga programs but we do adjust the duration and types of exercises for younger and school age children. Not sure if this is right for you?

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 four local businesses who have stepped up to help us: Carling Motors Volvo & Mazda, Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics, Morris Home Team and NeoLore Networks. Contact us if you want to help us grow!
