2. Children 7-10 years of age who are non-swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 16 years of age and responsible for their direct supervision or wear a lifejacket.

Cancellation Policy

No refunds. Changes to registrations are to our discretion and subject to an $15.00 administration fee. In the case of poor registration classes will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued. We will do our best to combine classes and alter the schedule, so this is not the case.

Make up Lessons: We do not offer make-up lessons for missed classes due to illness, injury, late registration, conflicting obligations, lack of transportation or lack of success and/or enjoyment from the program. However, make-up lessons may be offered due to pool mechanical issues or instructor illness, if scheduling permits.

Horton Street Seniors' Centre: Due to the on-going, province-wide shortage on certified Lifeguards, the Aquaplex Pool will close at 11:45 a.m. until further notice.  Both the Aqua-Step and Gentle-Step will still be available as it is a different lifeguard/instructor scheduled for these classes.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
