City of Powell River’s parks, recreation and culture department has released its digital Winter Living Guide, with most winter programs opening for registration at 8 am on Monday, December 1. Registration for swim lessons opens Monday, December 8, also at 8 am. Aquatic programs at Powell River Recreation Complex include lessons, wellness sessions and specialty training for all ages. The department is continuing its artistic swimming program, offering aqua yoga three times a week and providing swim lessons for everyone from babies to seniors. “We want people of all ages and abilities to discover the joy of being in the water, whether that is through lessons, wellness classes or learning lifesaving skills,” says aquatic programs supervisor Tami Wood. A key highlight this season is the annual swim instructor course for people who want to turn their passion for the pool into a leadership role. The course runs February 28 as well as March 1, 7, 8 and 28, with a teaching practicum over spring break. Participants must be at least 15 years old and hold a bronze cross certification. “If you are passionate about aquatics, becoming a certified OCEAN VIEW
