Recreation Programs
Waiver
Parents are required to complete a waiver form to participate in our programs. This waiver will be emailed to you after class is confirmed to have met minimum enrollment and must be completed and sent back prior to the start date of the preschool class. These waivers are only required once per calendar year, so if we currently have one on file for your child for 2020, you will not receive an email.
First Time Jitters
It is quite normal for a first-time participant, and sometimes a repeat participant, to be nervous or not want to stay. A new program experience may be intimidating or scary for a child. Quite often children are unsure what their class will be like, what they will do in class and most often they don’t want to be alone. It is important for parents to communicate with children about what will happen in class (activities, snack, swimming, stories). Stay positive, be excited and offer encouraging support to your child. Consider involving your child in getting ready for class (packing snack, picking clothes, bringing a picture in their backpack). Talk to your child on what they can expect from drop off to what might happen in a day to what time you will be there to pick them up. Ask your child if there is anything they are nervous about and come up with strategies ahead of time. Be sure to notify staff of strategies because we want to help make sure everyone has a great time.
Due to COVID restrictions we cannot pickup children or hold upset children. If a child cannot follow the required instruction by our staff they will have to go home.
Child’s Temperature
Parents will be required to take their children’s temperature each day prior to program drop off. AHS guidelines require us to make record of temperatures and ensure your child’s temperature is within the normal range. Staff will be recording this temperature on our class list and keep the records for two weeks after the last class. If you arrive and do not have your child’s temperature you will be asked to leave and may return after you have taken your child’s temperature.
Cancellations
A program will be cancelled or combined due to low registration 1 week prior to the program’s start date. For full details on cancellation policies https://www.leduc.ca/lrc/lrc-programs. Credits or refunds will not be issued any day where a potential COVID exposure occurs; however, for subsequent days affected by the AHS requirements issued by the Province of Alberta, registrants will receive a credit on their account.
Cleaning
Each program will be assigned their own specific toys, activities and equipment that will be wiped and sanitized before used by other cohorts. Any shared equipment will be cleaned and sanitized between cohort groups to ensure no cross contamination. We will be following the AHS guidelines for all cleaning requirements.
Recreation Program Day
Drop Off
Upon arrival to the LRC for your registered program, parents and children will meet at the preschool meeting area, located between the Curling Rink and Kosmos (on the West/Pool side). Please stand on one of the paw print circles on the floor and wait with your child. Please respect physical distancing while waiting for your program to start. Parents are asked to change your child into indoor shoes, and remove all outdoor clothing prior to start of class. The only items that should remain with the child during class are a backpack (with a water bottle and EITHER nut free snack or swimming bag, depending on program) and a coat if the weather requires one should we need to evacuate in an emergency.
Parents will be required to take their children’s temperature each day prior to school drop off. Staff will be recording this temperature, as well as asking the current required COVID screening questions.
Late Drop Off or Early Pick Up
If you are needing to pick up early or drop off late please contact Guest Services or arrange with the Program Supervisor (780.980.1550) before the program begins. Parents are not permitted to access our classroom facility as stipulated by AHS guidelines.
For all Sportball classes please proceed to Court C no more than 5 minutes before your scheduled program start time. Follow all directional signage within the facility during drop off and pick up.
Aquatic Centre Programs
REGISTRATION
- While AHS has deemed chlorinated water an adequate disinfectant and the risk of COVID-19 transmission low within a pool, class capacities have been limited in an effort to provide space for physical distancing requirements. Coupled with the need to disinfect equipment between classes, this may cause families to have difficulty scheduling multiple swimmers into lessons at or around the same time.
- All preschool levels & Swim Kids 1-4 are now “PARENTED/PARTNERED”. This means each registered swimmer is required to have a parent or responsible person (14 yrs. or older) from within the same household actively participating in the water with them at all times. This is in order to maintain the safety of our instructors through physical distancing.
- These parents/partners will be required to assist the swimmer physically as the instructor normally would. The Instructor will go through common holds & assists with the class and will guide all parents/partners through all drills
- In an effort to keep each class as an individual cohort, registration will not be taken after the first lesson.
- A program will be cancelled or combined due to low registration 1 week prior to the program’s start date.
- In the event of a potential COVID-19 exposure, the following Cancellation Policy is in place: Credits or refunds will not be issued any day where a potential COVID exposure occurs; however, for subsequent days affected by the requirements of the guidelines for Swimming Pools issued by the Province of Alberta, registrants will receive a credit on their account.
ATTENDING LESSONS
- Swimmers should come ready & dressed for their lesson and be moving through the changerooms, no more than 5 mins before their scheduled start time, in order to avoid congestion and maintain physical distancing in the changerooms and on the pool deck.
- Cleansing showers should be done at home before & after your swim. We ask that changeroom showers are used for a QUICK RINSE ONLY.
- Children under the age of 8 are limited to one parent/responsible person (14+ yrs) to enter the aquatic centre with them. Children over the age of 8 are asked to enter the aquatic centre on their own as this falls within our supervision guidelines.
- Locker use in changerooms will be limited.
- During Stage 2 of Alberta’s COVID-19 Pandemic Relaunch, Hot Tubs and Sauna’s remain CLOSED. Public Swim opportunities are not available during swimming lessons.
- Instructors will be wearing face shields as Personal Protective Equipment and are required to teach from the pool deck. In the event they need to provide the class with a demonstration, participants and parents/partners will be asked to move onto the deck so that the instructor can get in the pool to demonstrate the necessary skill. In the event of a class or facility emergency, Instructors and lifeguards will perform any required emergency response and may need to break physical distancing requirements.
- At this time, spectators are not allowed on the Aquatic Centre pool deck. Parent day will be held on day 6 for all Swim Kids levels 5-10. During your class’s parent day, we ask that parents be in the water participating with their swimmer rather than watching from the pool deck. The viewing area is open for standing only with a capacity of 5. Physical distancing must be maintained.
- Swimmers are still asked to bring report cards from previous levels for their instructor to review and the Instructor will ask swimmers to place report cards in a bag or bin. Old report cards will be returned, however it is likely that this session, swimmers will be given new report cards for each level.
- Feedback forms will be sent out after the 6th lesson via an online survey link. We appreciate any and all feedback, especially as we navigate this unprecedented times.
