SWIM LESsONS 

Why take swimming lessons 

at Dovercourt? Dovercourt’s 

highly-skilled instructors are 

able to teach children proper 

technique efficiently and 

effectively, in accordance 

with the high standards of the 

Lifesaving Society. Our end-ofsession 

Survival Day is unique 

to Dovercourt and is a fun yet 

powerful way to teach children 

skills that could save their lives 

in real-life scenarios. Our staff 

undergoes extensive training 

and regular updates on safety, 

rescue situations, changes to 

current standards, as well as 

techniques for teaching. Many 

of our senior aquatics staff 

are instructor and lifeguard 

trainers and are a valuable 

resource for our aquatics team. 

Our leisure pool is designed to 

teach swimming, with unique 

features like warmer water, a 

beach entry, rope swing and 

shallow & deep water pods. 

We are proud of the quality of 

our swim lesson program at 

Dovercourt! Read more on our

AERIAL PLAY FOR 

YOUTH! 

Is it still exercise if it’s this 

much fun? Regular physical 

activity is essential for healthy 

development at any age and 

we want to show our youth 

that workouts don’t have to 

be WORK. Want to swing 

from the ceiling? Well, we’ve 

just made that happen. Sign 

up your kiddos for Aerial 

Play for Youth, where they 

will enjoy a swinging, soaring 

exercise program while 

enjoying a healthy dose of 

fun. The approach to the 

program is laid back with a 

focus on participation, not 

competition. Aerial Play works 

with the principles of healthy 

athletic development and 

assists in building strength, 

mobility and neuromuscular 

coordination in a way that 

doesn’t seem like boring, 

traditional exercise. Parents 

are welcome to register as 

well, or your children can 

work on developing their 

independence and autonomy 

by coming on their own or 

with friends. This program is 

geared towards youth 11-14 

years of age. Not sure if this

their bodies and their minds

to help soothe and calm 

themselves.

participants a chance to move 

and strengthen their bodies 

and their minds while learning 

to accept their similarities 

and differences with others. 

It is a chance to participate in 

a non-competitive practice, 

while taking a break from 

the business of school and 

other activities. Families 

with children of all ages are 

welcome in any of our family 

yoga programs but we do 

adjust the duration and types 

of exercises for younger and

For those living with 

Parkinson’s, continued 

exercise is not only a bonus, 

it’s a necessity to improving 

mobility, posture, gait and 

easing stiffness, all common 

side effects of Parkinson’s. 

We have joined forces 

with the Ottawa Hospital’s 

Partners Investing Parkinson’s 

Research (PIPR) Board to 

develop exercise programs 

specifically for people 

afflicted with Parkinson’s. 

Our programs are designed 

from current research based 

practices and utilize large 

amplitude movements and 

a variety of cognitive and 

physical exercises to combat 

the effects of Parkinson’s on 

the neuromuscular system. 

Participants in these programs 

are encouraged to work within 

their own abilities and comfort 

and our Exercise Specialists 

will provide lots of one-on-one 

support and modifications 

to suit the needs of each 

individual. 

Dovercourt donates a portion

support continued research 

towards finding a cure.
