snow shoveling assistanceVOLUNTEERS NEEDED The City of Cranbrook is pleased to be working in partner-ship with Volunteer Kootenays again this year to encourage residents to BE A SNOW ANGEL! The Snow Angel project is a neighborhood-based volunteer matching project that links appropriate volunteer snow removers (Snow Angels) with seniors and disabled residents in need of snow removal services for their walkways.

It’s important to note that this year’s project is currently full to capacity with eligible service recipients, including a waiting list of more good citizens in need. What we are looking for now are potential volunteers to step forward to help out as matches for current Snow Angel recipients. Volunteers are required to go through a standard registration process, including a criminal record check, before being matched with a project recipient. Volunteer Leaders are also needed to assist with organizing work in their zone. The success of this program is contingent on able-bodied neighbours stepping forward and offering a helping hand to residents on the wait list. This is a great opportunity for individuals, groups, couples or families to serve in your com-munity. Volunteers, please register today by calling Laurie at Volunteer Kootenays for more information, 250.426.8019. If you are interested in applying to be a Snow Angel service recipient next year, watch for community notices in the Fall, 2013.REcOgNizE YOUR SNOw ANgEL! Has someone been an angel and helped you shovel? Say thanks by nominating them as a Snow Angel. They will receive an official letter of thanks and be entered to win two free tickets to this years’ Volunteer Recognition & Awards Gala in April. Call Volunteer Kootenays at 250.426.8019.

how about a game of wallyball?Wallyball is a fast-paced sport that combines handball (racquetball with no racquet), tennis, and volleyball. It is played in a racquetball court with the net hung above the center line, dividing the court in half. The ball used is the same size as a regular volleyball. It can be played with anywhere from two to six players per side. Much of the strategy used in Wallyball is similar to that used in volleyball, with different rules. Many team’s create their own rules with an emphasis to enhance physical fitness and to have fun!For more information about booking the racquet court for a game of Wallyball contact Leisure Services at 250-489-0220.

There is a maximum ratio of one parent or guardian to three children under the age of seven.

Although our public swim often runs for a continuous block of time, it is advisable that children take a break after a maximum of 2 hours in the pool to rest and rehydrate.

Viewing deck The viewing deck is an area for individuals who want to watch the pool activities and is a great place to read or visit with a friend while your kids are swimming. This is the only location on the poolside where health standards allow street clothing and shoes. Please be advised that No food is allowed in this area but there are seats and tables in the lobby. Please do not use the viewing deck as an entrance or exit to the pool, or as an area to change your children. For the safety of all our visitors, camera and video use is restricted and requires supervision by staff. Please ask one of our staff before using a camera.

change room Parents changing children over five years of age of the opposite gender must use the family change room. Please do not leave your belongings in the family change rooms while you are swimming. It is strongly advised to lock up all belongings. There are lockers available for 25 cents. It is prohibited to eat or drink in any of the change rooms.

waterslide The BCSA and the Safety Code for Amusement Rides and Devices Act have implemented new regulations for the use of our waterslide. • A child must be 42” tall to ride the waterslide. • No double sliding will be permitted at all - including parents and small children.

Aquatic Centre Etiquette & Policies

take the plUnge Swimming is an activity that is easy on the joints, supports your weight, builds muscular strength and endurance, and improves your cardiovascular fitness. It is something you can safely do at all ages. Do it for fitness or just to de-stress after a long day at work. We always have a lane available for you. If you don’t know how to swim, we’ll teach you how in our Red Cross adult and teen program or during a private lesson. The choice is yours, check it out!

coUnt YoUr klicks clUb Are you training for a triathlon or just interested in improving your swimming endurance? This program is designed to track your total swimming distance and will help keep you in shape while tracking improvement in swimming skills at the same time. Come in during any lane swimming time and record your lengths. For more information see the Leisure Services desk.

Deep H2O AquAfit Deep-water training provides a unique and open environment free from gravity and impact. Classes will incorporate cardiovascular and muscle conditioning exercises. This is a challenging workout for both skilled and unskilled aquatic fitness participants. JOint MObility Helps to relieve pain, maintain or increase range of motion, strengthen weak muscles and improve circulation. This class is for those seeking injury rehabilitation, arthritis joint therapy or those wishing to improve their strength and range of motion. SeniOr “fun”ctiOnAl fitneSS Using a variety of equipment, participate in exercises designed to aid the aging population in improving function and completing their daily living activities. You may choose to swim laps, participate in the class, relax in the hot tub, sauna or steam room, or choose your own activities in the deep end or wave pool.

SHAllOw/trAnSitiOnAl AquAfit Shallow water aquafit has the benefit of providing excellent cardio, strength and flexibility training. The option to work at a transitional depth (neck deep with or without a buoyancy belt), provides participants who experience lower body joint issues, to participate and improve in all weight bearing activities. Suitable for everyone. SpOrt cOnDitiOning Every class is a mixed bag of sport specific activities. Circuit work and interval training will be incorporated to deliver a challenging workout. Aquatic steps, fins, balls, noodles, kickers and cuffs, paddles, tethers and dumbbells may be used to increase intensity of a workout. The focus is to strengthen the weak musculature while providing challenging cardio. This is neither specific to shallow or deep water. Instructors will determine at the time of the class which areas will be used. Participants must be skilled Aquafit participants or athletic persons wanting to cross train. Shoes must be worn.

ShoeS recommended ShoeS recommended

why ShoeS? Aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. They help to prevent accidental slips on the deck and in the pool. They also help protect the feet from infection and protect the joints from impact. What kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes, they will be happy to assist you!
