Private/Semi-Private Swim Lessons Sometimes a little help can make a big difference! You now have two options of private/semiprivate lessons with Saanich Aquatics: Simple Set and Custom swim lessons.
SIMPLE SET
Looking for one-on-one instruction? Do your strokes need a boost or refresher? With Simple Set lessons, you choose a time that works for you within the advertised set schedule and receive personalized instruction for the entire lesson set. Instructor requests will be considered, but cannot be guaranteed. Book them on-line or over the telephone with reception today!
CUSTOM SWIM LESSONS
Our most flexible lesson option! The private lesson technician will work with you to find the best fit for days, times and instructor. All classes must be booked within a single season. Please call 250-475-7104 for Gordon Head or call 250-475-7608 for Commonwealth Pool to customize your private lesson.
TEEN SWIM LESSONS 12-16yrs
These lessons allow you to set your own goals while swimming with other teens! Whether you are just learning how to swim or brushing up on strokes, these lessons are a perfect way of socializing while improving confidence in the water!
ADULT SWIM LESSONS
This program is designed to meet the individual needs of teens and adults. The built –in flexibility of the program allows the instructor to tailor the classes to meet your needs based on your personal goals and rate of progress.

The Arts What’s New in the Arts? ARTS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Now more than ever the arts are known to play essential roles in children’s development. They contribute to improving motor skills and balance, encourage inventiveness and creativity, and build problem solving and decision making skills. Arts activities also help practice social and communication skills as well as develop visual and numerical literacy. With the range of affordable arts programs available through The Arts Centre and the other Saanich recreation centres, parents can encourage their young children to explore a variety of arts through programs in dance, music and visual arts.

Recent Park Developments The walkways around the playground and the promenade have been paved to create a more accessible environment. A large compass design near the beach accentuates the nautical theme to this popular waterfront park. After a two year planning and approvals process construction of the Gorge Park Community Gardens got underway in early fall, 2014. The main structure of the garden including perimeter split rail fencing, berms, gravel pathways, irrigation, rain garden and small structures were completed in mid-fall. Layout and construction of the planting beds and landscaping is ongoing with the first plantings expected to be in the ground by early spring 2015. The 1600 sq. m. garden will include elevated beds for easier access for those with mobility challenges.
Cadboro-Gyro, Bisley and Rosedale Parks were the focus of improvements in 2014. New playgrounds, tennis courts and other park amenities have rejuvenated these parks. Cadboro-Gyro Park saw considerable improvements this past summer. The new accessible playground is geared toward children of all ages and abilities. One of the most exciting additions to the park is a new zipline that has riders zoom past the Octopus over a bed of wood chip safety surfacing. Other notable improvements to the playground include a sensory garden complete with panels to learn braille and sign language. The garden is also filled with plants of interesting textures and smells. The ship has been completely restored and

Next time you visit the park – check out the barrels for a clue to the park’s heritage. Also in the mixture are new sea creatures to join the iconic Salmon, Octopus and Cadborasaurus!
The Saanich Parks system has a total of 57 playgrounds throughout our community. The Parks & Trails guide indicates all the parks with playgrounds with a small teeter-totter icon next to the park name. You can also search our parks database at www.saanichparks.ca for all the playgrounds and other park amenities.
