FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

RECREATION & CULTURE PROGRAMS

The City of Revelstoke Parks, Recreation & Culture Department believes that every child should have

the opportunity to enjoy and play sports. Research shows that participation in recreation improves

health, life skills, teamwork, socialization and goal setting in children and youth. We want to make sure

you know about the opportunities available to ensure all children have access to recreation and cultural

activities.

C.O.R. Recreation Passes

The City of Revelstoke, through Council

support, offers free annual recreation passes

and 50% subsidy on certain recreation

programs to low Income residents. Look for

the above heart logo labelled on programs that

qualify for this assistance.

Revelstoke’s Youth Access Fund

This fund was established to ensure all youth

have equal opportunity to participate in

sports, recreation, arts and culture programs,

events and activities. The YA fund was

designed to help remove financial barriers

(including registration fees, equipment,

transportation and other costs associated

with participation) for youth from low and

modest income families to participate in

activities that they would otherwise

not be able to.

KidSport BC

The KidSport concept was hatched in 1993 by board

and staff at Sport BC as a way to help address the

challenges faced by many families when registering

their children in organized sport. Their mission is to

remove financial barriers that prevent children from

playing organized sports! Check online for more

information and how to apply.

Please contact Community Connections to

determine your eligibility.

or call: 604-333-3434

JumpStart

Jumpstart gives kids a sporting chance.

Participating in sport not only helps the physical

and social well-being, but helps build self-esteem.

By helping kids get into the game, we are

equipping them with determination.

This confidence goes beyond practices and

games. No kid should be left on the side lines but

in Canada 1 in 3 families cannot afford to enroll

their kids in organized sports. Jumpstart is here to

help.

Families requiring assistance need to fill out the

application before the fees are due, as money

goes directly to the organization. Applications can

be submitted from January 1 - November 1.

Check online for application forms and more

information or call: 1-844-YES-PLAY.

The Stoke Youth Network was designed by youth for youth, focused on increasing opportunities for meaningful youth engagement in Revelstoke!

Background & Program Summary

Revelstoke’s Youth Access Fund, (YA Fund) was established in 2014 as a way to ensure all youth have equal opportunity

to participate in sports, recreation, arts and cultural programs, events and activities. The YA Fund is designed

with participation), for youth from low and modest income families to participate in activities that they

would otherwise not be able to do.

Participant Eligibility

Lap Swimming Etiquette 101

Swimmers arriving at a pool should do three things before entering the water:

1. Make note of lane signage (Fast, Medium, Slow, Closed, etc.)

2. Spend a few minutes observing and roughly timing the pace of swimmers already in the pool.

3. Select a lane containing swimmers moving as closely as possible to the pace that one realistically

expects to swim throughout his or her entire workout.

Once you choose a lane, carefully check the position and speed of other swimmers before entering,

preferably to one side of the lane. Incumbent swimmers have an initial right of way and may need a lap or

two to adjust to your presence.

During a swim, swimmers should observe and respect the pace and workout routines of other swimmers

in their lane by:

1. Staying constantly aware of other swimmers’ presence (e.g. Move up a lane if you are constantly

passing swimmers or down a lane if you are constantly being passed).

2. Explicitly informing other swimmers of your intentions (e.g. Gently but distinctly touch the feet of a

swimmer before you pass them. If you get touched, continue to the wall then stop in the corner to let

the faster swimmer pass).

3. Knowing the common lap swimming etiquette (e.g. Allow swimmers doing faster strokes to swim

ahead).

4. Applying common sense at all times (e.g. Share the space as best you can… no one has a right to

“own” a lane indefinitely or insist on their on idiosyncratic rules.)

The nature of lap swimming is incredibly dynamic and can change many times throughout a single

workout. When in doubt, communicate with people in your lane and, if all else fails, ask the lifeguard. It is

not the role of a lifeguard to constantly “police” the lanes, but they are happy to answer questions about

common conventions and provide suggestions for possible solutions.

Happy Swimming!

The Lifesaving Society Swim for Life® program is a comprehensive swim lesson program that

focuses on the development of fundamental swim strokes and skills for learners of all ages and

abilities. Instructors ensure swimmers get lots of in-water practice in every lesson. Swim for Life

includes fun, hands on activities that focus on teaching Water Smart education for the whole

family. Lessons that will last a lifetime!

Parent & Tot Program Overview

Recommended age: 4 months to 3 years old. The Lifesaving Society Parent & Tot lessons structure

in-water interaction between parent and child to stress the importance of play in developing

water-positive attitudes and skills. Activities and progressions are based on child development allowing

parents to register in the level appropriate for their child’s age: 4-12 months, 12-24 months, or 2-3

years.

During this program, one parent or caregiver will be required to be

in the water with the tot (one-to-one ratio).

Parent & Tot 1 – Jellyfish (previously Starfish)

Recommended age: 4-12 months. Parent & Tot 1 provides an orientation to

water for infants and their parent/caregiver. Parents/caregivers will learn how to

swim safely with their infant in the pool through instruction of holds and

supports. Infants will be introduced to getting their face wet, blowing bubbles

and floating with the help of their caregiver.

Parent & Tot 2 – Goldfish (previously Duck)

Recommended age: 12-24 months. Parent & Tot 2 teaches toddlers how to play

in the water safely! They’ll learn how to enter and exit the water with help from

their parent/caregiver and will play games to encourage them to get their face

wet and blow bubbles in the water. Toddlers will also develop floating and kicking

skills with the support of their parent/caregiver.

Parent & Tot 3 – Seahorse (previously Sea Turtle)

Recommended age: 2-3 years. Parent & Tot 3 teaches toddlers how to safely

enter the water wearing a PFD. They’ll develop underwater skills such as

submersion and opening their eyes underwater. ‘Starfish’ floats, ‘pencil’ floats

and kicking skills are taught using songs and games.


Preschool Program Overview

Recommended age: 3 to 5 years. Give your child a head start on learning to swim! The Lifesaving Society

Preschool lessons develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before they get in too

deep. With a progression-based approach, instructors work to ensure 3-5 year olds become comfortable

in the water and have fun while developing a foundation of water skills. Water Smart education is

included in all Preschool levels.

During this program, one parent or caregiver will be required to be on deck (not in the water)

to assist with their child(ren) if necessary.

Preschool 1 – Octopus (previously Sea Otter)

Recommended age: 3-5 years. Preschool 1 is a transitional level which transfers the

preschooler to the care of the instructor. Preschoolers will have fun learning to get

in and out of the water. They’ll learn how to put their face in the water, blow

bubbles in the water, and how to float and glide.

Preschool 2 – Crab (previously Salamander)

Recommended: Completed Preschool 1. Preschool 2 teaches preschoolers how to

safely jump into chest-deep water and how to swim wearing a lifejacket (PFD).

They’ll learn submersion skills and continue to work on floats, glides, and kicking

with buoyant objects.

Preschool 3 – Orca (previously Sunfish)

Recommended: Completed Preschool 2. Preschool 3 teaches preschoolers how to

enter deep water safely wearing a PFD. They’ll learn how to submerge and exhale

underwater, retrieve objects underwater, and will continue developing their

floating, gliding and kicking skills.

Preschool 4 – Sea Lion (previously Crocodile)

Recommended: Completed Preschool 3. Preschool 4 teaches deep-water entries

and treading water wearing a PFD. Preschoolers will become skilled at retrieving

objects from the bottom of the pool in chest-deep water and performing front and

side glide. Front crawl wearing a PFD is also introduced.

Preschool 5 – Narwhal (previously Whale)

Recommended: Completed Preschool 4. Preschool 5 teaches Swim to Survive® skills

wearing a PFD. Front crawl and back crawl are introduced as well as interval fitness

training. Preschoolers will also learn how to tread water and perform vertical whip

kick (flutter kick) with a buoyant aid. Once complete, preschoolers can register into

Swimmer 2.

DISCLAIMER:

Children must be enrolled in the correct class for their ability. If you are unsure of your child’s swim

level, bring them in for a free swim assessment prior to registration.

The assessment can be arranged during any public swim session.

If your child has been incorrectly enrolled, we reserve the right to withdraw them.


Swimmer Program Overview

Recommended age: 5 to 12 years. The Lifesaving Society’s Swimmer program makes sure your children

learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Each level challenges school-aged children to develop

safe entries, deep water support, underwater skills, and swimming strokes. Kids learn healthy habits by

getting and staying fit in the water. Swimmer levels include fun, hands-on activities that focus on

teaching water safety.

During this program, parents or caregivers with children under 7 years old will be required to

be on deck (not in the water) to assist with their child(ren) if necessary.

Swimmer 1 (previously Swim Kids 1)

Recommended age: 5-12 years. These beginners will become comfortable jumping

Swimmer 9 – Star Patrol (previously Swim Kids 10)

Recommended: Completed Swimmer 8 – Ranger Patrol. Star Patrol challenges

swimmers with a 300 m timed swim, 600 m workout and a 25 m object carry.

CHILDCARE PROGRAMS

Our programs combine structured activities along with child directed free play. Our goal is to

provide a safe, inclusive and positive learning environment where each child is nurtured using

developmentally appropriate practices. Part of our learning focus incorporates outside play,

excursions, creative and imaginative art. Our dedicated teaching staff are certified instructors

who work in partnership with parents to build understanding and consistency for the children.
