Aquatics Aquatic Centre Etiquette & Policies
Page 21-30
Children under seven years of age must be within arms reach of a parent or guardian sixteen years of age or older at all times. 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 advised that children take a break after a maximum of two hours in the pool to rest and rehydrate.
Waterslide The BCSA and the Safety Code for Amusement Rides and Devices Act have implemented 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.
Pool For everyone’s safety and health, please use dedicated deck shoes or bare feet while walking from the change rooms to poolside. To maintain clear water conditions and to keep the water filter system working optimally, please have a cleansing shower before entering the pools. Children in diapers must wear an approved swim diaper with a tight fitting swim suit or plastic diaper cover. For your convenience, we sell disposable and Gabby’s reusable swim diapers at the front desk.
pr esent s
Viewing Deck The viewing deck is an area for individuals who want to watch the pool activities. It 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.

Why wear 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!
