Swimming lessons are returning to the Kinsmen Pool in Pembroke. The first session will return September 30th to October 30th. Registration will take place September 13th and 14th at the Pembroke Memorial Centre from 4-8 p.m.
There are some changes to the way lessons are run due to COVID-19. Some of the changes are:
- Swimming lessons Swim Kids 4 and below (including all pre-school classes) will require a parent/guardian (16 years or older) to be in the water within arms reach for safety purposes. No exceptions.
- Payment is required by lesson 1 to secure your spot in the class since space in classes is limited. The Kinsmen Pool now has a debit and credit machine, but still accepts cash.
- There will be no spectators for lessons at this time.
- Face coverings are required while in the change rooms and on deck but are to be removed before entering the water.
- Showers are available for a quick rinse after lessons.
- Lockers are unavailable however there will be places on deck for your belongings.
- Swimmers are to come dressed in their bathing suits to reduce time in the change rooms.
A full swimming lesson schedule will be released in the coming days on our website and on our social media accounts to encourage registrants to come prepared with class preferences.
