WELCOME TO DOVERCOURT’S SPRING 2018 PROGRAMS! 

Dovercourt Recreation Association (DRA) is a not-for-profit charitable organization with the mission of 

building a healthy, active and engaged community through recreation. While we are part of the City of 

Ottawa’s recreation system, DRA is empowered to choose what programs it runs to meet the community’s 

needs, and how those programs are delivered. Our motto is “a community working for the community, 

une communauté qui travaille pour la communauté”. Staff, volunteers, clients, local community groups and 

businesses working together...that’s Dovercourt!

FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE 

We want the registration process to be as simple and convenient as possible. This 

means you have the option of booking in-person, over-the-phone, or online. And 

with Dovercourt offering lessons 7 days a week, you have a significant number of 

days and time slots to choose from. 

Recognizing that some children benefit from smaller ratios, we also offer three 

types of classes: group lessons, limited enrolment, and private (one-on-one) 

classes. 

Have a child attending summer day camp at Dovercourt? You have the option of 

adding swimming lessons to their day for a small, added fee. 

WHAT’S DIFFERENT 

ABOUT SWIMMING 

LESSONS AT DOVERCOURT? 

Dovercourt Recreation Centre takes swimming very seriously. In addition to 

being an essential life skill, swimming is also an enormous life asset – from both a 

physical and mental health perspective. Bottom line, those who learn how to swim 

will have an enormous advantage in life. 

Dovercourt staunchly believes everyone should have that advantage, and with this, 

has built a unique and reputable swimming program based on 4 key pillars: 

• Quality of curriculum and instruction 

• Comfort and functionality of facilities 

• Flexibility and choice 

• Access and inclusion 

QUALITY OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION 

The Dovercourt swimming program is based on the Lifesaving Society’s Swim 

for Life® model – a comprehensive approach that focuses on three fundamental 

strokes. Learning Swim to Survive® and achieving the Lifesaving Society’s Swim to 

Survive® Standard are key foundations of the Swim for Life® program. 

While Swim for Life® forms the foundation of our swimming program, it is our 

highly-skilled instructors who ultimately make it the success that it is. Dovercourt 

swim staff undergoes regular, extensive training on safety, current standards 

and teaching techniques. And our end-of-session “Survival Day” is unique to 

Dovercourt, with our instructors teaching children skills that could save their lives 

in real-life scenarios. Sessions conclude with detailed online report cards filled out 

by the instructors. 

In addition to their consummate level of instruction, our staff also put a strong 

emphasis on fun, patience and kindness. Allaying fears and instilling confidence in 

budding swimmers is a top priority. 

And as always at Dovercourt, if you have a need for something that isn’t currently 

available, let us know and we’ll do our very best to accommodate your needs. 

ACCESS AND INCLUSION 

Access and inclusion quite 

simply means that everyone 

is welcome at Dovercourt. 

Regardless of age, income, 

race, physical ability, religious 

beliefs, sexual orientation or 

gender identity our swimming 

program is open to all. 

Dovercourt has offered low 

or no-cost classes to new 

Canadians, and our Last 

Minute Club provides free 

spots in swim classes that 

have failed to sell out at the 

start of the program. 

And for anyone who wishes 

to register for swimming at 

Dovercourt but finds that the 

expense is cost-prohibitive, 

you can request a financial 

assistance form to see if you 

qualify for a subsidy. 

SWIMMING INFLUENCES 

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE CHILD 

Some have said that swimming is a metaphor for life – we battle waves, go with 

the flow, try to keep our head above water – and of course, the proverbial sink or 

swim. 

The comparison is apt when you examine the benefits of swimming on the 

development of the whole child. According to the German Sports College Cologne, 

learning to swim at a young age can contribute significantly to left and right 

brain development, healthy self-esteem, strong self-discipline, and even academic 

success. 

And we’re proud to say that many of our instructors were once students of 

Dovercourt’s swimming program themselves! 

COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY OF FACILITIES 

Dovercourt is conveniently located in central west Ottawa. With plenty of parking, 

an extensive playground, and close proximity to the shops and restaurants of 

Westboro, Dovercourt offers convenience and ease for families both coming and 

going. 

Once inside, you can enjoy our newly-built, bright family change room. During your 

child’s lesson, squeeze in a workout of your own and take advantage of the fitness 

centre. Or you can simply have a cup of coffee in our upstairs lounge where you 

can view your child’s lesson from above. 

Our warm water pool features an easy-entry ramp, a variety of pods, and a 

multitude of instructional equipment and accessories – including a slide!

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

Dovercourt, our Pilates 

programs expand on Joseph 

Pilates’ original repertoire of 

34 exercises by using modern 

techniques, research and 

equipment to help students 

strengthen the body’s 

“powerhouse”. Pilates will 

provide stability and support to 

the spine while simultaneously 

developing strength in the 

deep abdominal and pelvic 

floor muscles. We recommend 

new students begin at the 

beginner level until they are 

comfortable with the terms, 

techniques and breath work 

required to advance their 

practice.

^TEEN FITNESS PROGRAMS 

Teens who engage in regular 

physical activity are more 

likely to remain active in 

adulthood than those who do 

not. For many teens, their only 

exercise comes from sportspecific 

training or gym class, 

which can lead to unbalanced 

physical development or a 

negative association with 

exercise. Our teen programs 

are designed to build a positive 

association with participating 

in exercise and self-care 

behaviors, and making healthy 

choices. Our programs will 

expose teens to a variety of 

exercise styles and teach them 

how to confidently use indoor 

fitness facilities and give them 

the tools to transition into a 

healthy and active adulthood.
