CLUB COACHING POLICY

The use of professional instructors or coaches from outside the Club is not permitted. Only those who have been contracted by the Club may teach on Club premises.

PROGRAM FEES

All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the duration of the program. Workshops and short-term activities will be billed in the month they occur.

ACTIVITY & SPORT ASSOCIATION FEES

Some program areas are required to have members register with their provincial sport governing association for the purpose of insurance coverage to participate in tournaments and events. These fees may be billed seasonally or yearly and are listed on the program pages for which they apply. Some areas also have activity fees, billed seasonally or yearly, and are used to pay for special equipment, gifts, awards, seasonal parties, events, and other program enhancements.

UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY

Children under age for a specific program must receive approval from the Coordinator/Director of that program before registering. If permission is given, underage participants must register with the Recreation Services Desk directly so that we may bypass the established age restriction. Please note that receiving advanced approval does not guarantee a spot in the program.

PROGRAM APPROVALS

Some programs require approval from the Coordinator/Director of the activity area, prior to registering, to ensure participants are at a required level for the class. If a member is incorrectly registered for a class, the Coordinator/Director reserves the right to remove them and recommend another class more suitable for their age or skill level. If an alternative class is not available, the member will be removed from the class.

REGISTRATION WAITLISTS

During the initial days of each registration period, it is recommended to make use of the wait list feature if you do not secure your preferred program dates and times. As space becomes available for the program, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered and notified by email. If you no longer want a spot in the class, please remove yourself or your child from the waitlist, or from the class upon receipt of the notification. You may also contact the Registration Desk at registration@arbutusclub.com to cancel any classes or waitlists.

general info

MISSED/MAKE-UP CLASSES

If you miss a class for any reason, it is the decision of the Coordinator/Director of each activity area, as to whether they can accommodate a make-up lesson. Most activity areas do not offer this option as it is disruptive to participants registered and is challenging for staff to accommodate.

CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS

A parent/caregiver (16yrs+) must always accompany children under 8 years old while in the Club. You must drop off and pick up your child for all programs as children under 8 years of age will not be released from the program on their own.

ALLERGY AWARE

Recreation Services Staff are allergy aware and request that parents do not pack snacks for their children that contain common allergens, such as peanuts. If your child has an allergy, you would like us to be aware of, please contact the Recreation Services Desk and we will notify the instructor.

GUEST POLICY

Recreation programs and events are restricted to members only, unless otherwise noted. A limited number of guests may be permitted to attend 25 Year Club events, special youth events and various one-time workshops, if space permits before the event date.

PROGRAM FEEDBACK

We welcome your feedback about our programs, camps, services, and events at any time in person, by phone or by email. We also have an evaluation form available online at arbutusclub.com/services/recreation if you would like to complete it anonymously.

ACTIVITY COMMITTEES

The success of our activity areas is in large part due to the contributions made by volunteer Committee members. If you would like to participate in one of our Activity Committees, please fill out an application form available at Club Reception or email Craig Mercer at cmercer@arbutusclub.com.

POOL POLICIES

KEEP IT CLEAN

We ask that swimmers have a shower to rinse off prior to entering the pool.

Children under 5 years of age must have an adult (16 yrs+), wearing a bathing suit, in the water and within arm’s reach regardless of swim level. Children 7 years old and under must be actively supervised. Active supervision means always having your eyes on your children (no books, laptops, tablets, cellphone usage etc.), and within arms- reach. Supervision is done from the tot pool deck by an adult (16 yrs.+), wearing bathing attire (bathing suit, shorts, t-shirt, and bare feet). Lifeguards on or off deck cannot be responsible for looking after or take charge of young members outside of lessons.

OBSERVATION ON DECK

Parents are welcome to remain in street clothing, including shoes, and observe from the chairs by the Aquatic Office. If you wish to observe from the other seating areas throughout the aquatic area, you must remove your footwear.

If observing, we ask that parents/caregivers refrain from interrupting lessons in progress. If you wish to speak to an instructor, please do so before or after their lesson. It is in everyone’s best interest to let the instructors focus on their students’ instruction and safety.

Then we practice, teach, practice, teach, practice... until great habits are developed.

To successfully participate in class, players must be able to listen to and follow instructions from the coaches. Any players not yet ready to do this will be asked to return to the program once they are able to do so.
