COVID-19 Update

2021 has been an unprecedented year. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.

We have been working hard to review and implement new health and safety measures for the re-opening of the pool.

Our top priority is keeping our swimmers, their families, and our team safe as we get back to swimming.

In times of a public health crisis, it is important to remember our motto, “Swimming, a skill you learn for life.” Ontario has nearly 160,000 square kilometres of fresh water (that’s just over 10% of the total area of the province!) and so it behooves us to keep up with our swimming lessons, our fitness and our training to ensure the safety of ourselves, our loved ones, and those that may need our assistance.

New Procedures & Safety Measures

At the pool, you will notice several new procedures and safety measures to help prevent the spread of disease.

  • Please stay home if you are feeling sick or if you have a fever.

  • All swimmers aged 12 years and older must show proof of double COVID-19 vaccination or a valid expedition by presenting their QR code certificate for scanning

  • All participants, caregivers and staff will be screened at the door for COVID-19 symptoms using current Public Health questionnaires.

  • Face coverings (like a mask) are required at all times for everyone 2 years old and over except for medical reasons. Swimmers may take their face coverings off and leave them with their street clothes.

  • In an effort to reduce foot traffic at the pool, we ask that only 1 caregiver accompany swimmers where possible.

  • We reserve the right to ask spectators to wait outside of the pool enclosure if required for physical distancing.

  • Swimmers ages 3 months – 6 years old who not independent in the water must have a family member or caregiver who is at least 16 years old and who is able to swim with them to offer physical support in the water for each lesson.

  • Lifesaving skills will be practiced on manikins, family members, or people in your “social bubble”, or an agreed upon class partner.

The ministry of health recognizes that lifeguards must still be able to their job and get close to swimmers if help is needed. We are following all guidelines set out by the ministry of health, and the lifesaving society.
