AQUATIC PROGRAMS
WILMOT AQUATIC CENTRE • HOW TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL SWIMMING LESSONS • Visit the pool before swimming lessons start. Give your child a tour of the facility. • Have fun and swim with your child during a recreational swim prior to beginning lessons and practice skills they already know. • Set realistic expectations with your child and allow your child to feel that there are no expectations to receive a badge. Swimmers often need more than one set of lessons in order to gain the skills that will allow them to complete a level. • Make sure you bring any concerns to the instructor in a timely manner. • If your child has a medical concern or a learning challenge, please speak to the instructor on the first lesson. This will allow us to help your child get the most out of their lesson.
LESSON INFORMATION • Please return your recent progress card to your Swimming Instructor. These will be updated and returned on the last lesson. • Participants will be screened on the first lesson to ensure they are enrolled in the appropriate level. We will do our best to get your child into the appropriate level. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a space in the level you require will be available during your current lesson time. • Each swimming level has items that must be completed correctly a minimum of 3 times on separate lessons in order for that item to be complete. (According to the standards set by the Red Cross.) Attendance is important in your child’s success in the program.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Volunteers need to be at least 12 years of age and hold your Swim Kids 10. Volunteers are required to be available for the entire session. Please complete a volunteer application form and submit it to the Customer Service Rep at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. A staff member will contact you to set up your shift.

PRIVATES AND SEMI-PRIVATES
16
You can now Register for Privates on-line recWeb. (Semi-privates must be done in person or over the phone) If your child needs extra attention on a certain skill, privates might be just what they need. A private lesson may be what your child needs to complete a badge or learn a new skill. Please ensure that you speak to your child’s instructor at the start of the lesson to set-out your goals and what you are hoping to accomplish for your child. Minimum age for private lessons is 3 years of age. If you are interested in semi-private lessons, it is your responsibility to find the other participant. When registering for semi-private lessons and both parties do not reside in the same household, registration must be done in person and both parties must be present at the time of registration. To ensure quality instructions both participants must be in similar levels.

ADMISSION POLICY FOR RECREATIONAL SWIMS
WRIST BAND POLICY
WAC staff members are experts trained in aquatic emergencies. They are required to supervise all patrons in the pool and cannot act in a child care capacity. Parental supervision of all children under 10 years of age is strongly recommended during all pool visits.
In conjunction with our admission policy we will be issuing wrist bands to young swimmers.
Children aged 7 and under and children 8 – 10 years who are weak or non- swimmers • Must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is responsible for their direct supervision. A Maximum of 2 children for each parent/ guardian • Children wearing personal flotation devices (water wings, lifejackets etc) must be supervised at all times Children aged 8 to 10 years of age who are strong swimmers • May be admitted into the pool without direct supervision provided they are able to demonstrate the ability to pass the Aquatic Swim test. This test consists of a 25 meter swim completed comfortably by the swimmer without stopping or putting their feet on the bottom • Parents/ Guardians must remain in the facility until the swim test is completed successfully. If the child is unable to complete the swim test, the Parent/ Guardian will be required to participate with the child. “Direct supervision” is defined as being in the water and able to render immediate assistance. Persons who have known seizure disorders or other serious medical disorders are at greater risk while swimming. Those individuals should be accompanied and supervised by another individual knowledgeable on their condition.
• Children 7 years of age or younger will be given a RED ribbon for their wrist. These children must be accompanied in the water at all times by a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who must remain within arm’s reach at all times • Children 8 – 10 years of age will be given a YELLOW ribbon for their wrist if they wish to perform a swim test to see if they can swim unaccompanied. Parents or the guardian must be in the facility until the child has performed the swim test to ensure the child is able to swim alone. • If the child passes the swim test, they can have their wrist band removed & they will be issued a swim test card. Swim Test cards must be presented to the customer service representative at each visit. • If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a RED ribbon for their wrist and will be required to swim within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is in the pool.

Wood Carving
Grand Valley Woodcarvers Association Grand Valley Woodcarvers, a non-profit charity, was founded by a small group of enthusiastic carvers with a special interest in carving birds and wildfowl, and a dedication to promoting the art. Today, carvers meet weekly to learn and develop the skill of carving wildfowl in a variety of styles, while enjoying the fellowship of like-minded individuals. Beginners and experienced carvers work next to each other with senior carvers providing guidance and assistance to less experienced carvers and those new to the art and craft. Over the year, meetings also include carving classes, guest instructors, and demonstrations. Members enjoy access to an excellent growing library of reference books, demonstration videos, patterns, and other study materials. Additionally, members have the opportunity to participate in the Canadian National Wildfowl Carving Championship, sponsored by the Grand Valley Woodcarvers.

Martial Arts - Self Defense Classes
Fastball
Wilmot Jujitsu - Professional Self Defense Wilmot Jujitsu abides by the traditional values of Jujitsu, where the passing of knowledge of the art is of primary importance. We believe that the true values of Jujitsu transcend its technical aspects of training; more important are the developments of mental and moral characteristics such as: Patience, Courage, Self Control, Self Confidence and Humility. At Wilmot Jujitsu we practice the following arts: Shinki Ryu Jujitsu, Genbukan Ninpo (tai jutsu), International Motobu Ha Shito Ryu Karate, and Hiden Mugai Ryu Iaido.
Church Men’s Fastball League For more information contact Marlin Lichti at 519-662-2351 or Ryan Roth at 519-662-4588.
Shinki Ryu Jujitsu is an effective self defense system and is the foundation of what is taught. It is designed to enhance the confidence of the practitioner while training in a friendly, relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Advanced Practitioners are allowed to train in both Karate/Kobujutsu and Iaido/Kenjutsu. Genbukan Ninpo is offered to advanced students of Shinki Ryu or to students that are specifically interested in Genbukan Ninpo. Ninpo Bugei focuses on teaching the illumination, awareness and defense of mind, body and spirit. It is the essence of traditional Ninjutsu techniques. This is restricted to adult students ages 14 and up. Wilmot Jujitsu teaches young children (ages 5-9), youth (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 14 and up).

For the summer of 2014 we have decided to try something different. We know that it is hard to commit to weekly classes over the summer so we are offering one night only classes which will give you a chance to pick and choose your own schedule. It's also a great chance to try some classes that you might not have tried otherwise!
