SWIM LESSONS Update After 75 years the Canadian Red Cross will be refocusing its efforts and transitioning away from swimming lessons. The Red Cross have partnered with the Lifesaving Society of Canada to ensure water safety and swim lessons remain a priority for Canadians. That priority remains for Recreation & Cultural Services and the District with no service disruption and we will be transitioning swim programs to the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life levels this Fall. By the end of summer all the resources will be in place to help you navigate you/ your child(s) appropriate level for Fall registration.

KEEP FIT BALANCE & STRETCHING: CHAIR
KEEP FIT: FULL BODY FUSION
Balance and stretching uses all of your core muscles to practice meaningful poses and stretches to relax and lengthen the body. We will practice stretching on a chair and will make the movements easy to adapt and modify. Balance training involves doing exercises that strengthen the muscles that help keep you upright, including your legs and core. These kinds of exercises can improve stability and help prevent falls. This program takes place at The 55 Activity Centre Kriszti Richterne
Full Body Fusion is based on Pilates principles combined with ballet-inspired moves and strength training. It involves high-repetition bodyweight exercises that hold the muscles of the legs, abdominals, glutes, and arms under tension for extended periods. Benefits include strengthening muscles that are required to maintain posture, stability through the joints, and enduring balance. These exercises enable a strong, lean, healthy body at every age, for life. This program takes place at The 55 Activity Centre Kriszti Richterne
