Set realistic goals for your child, encouraging them to do their best. Learning to swim can be enjoyable, but like many skills, it takes time, practise and patience. It is important to remember that each swimmer advances at his/ her own pace. Not completing a level the first time, or even the second time, simply means there are important skills to continue to improve upon. Success in swimming lessons comes in many different forms – learning new skills, increasing confidence, and gaining a feeling of accomplishment. What Level Should I Register In? Visit our pool and one of the Customer Service or Aquatic Staff can assist you in determining what level to register in. The Department of Parks and Recreation offers free swimming lesson assessments. Please contact the Deck Supervisor on duty to request a screening during scheduled leisure swim times. Repeating a level? Show your last report card to the Instructor to allow practise time on skills requiring development. To progress to the next level, all items must be completed. Lesson Start Time Participants should go to the pool deck at the lesson start time (not earlier). You may wish to escort your child to their lesson on the first day to meet the Instructor. Please remove outdoor shoes in the shower area and pool deck. Deck Supervisor There is a designated Deck Supervisor on deck and available to answer your questions or concerns. They also provide a link between you and the instructor. Ask and the Deck Supervisor will be happy to assist you. Parent’s Day Parent’s Day will take place during the 5th lesson. Parents are invited on deck to watch their child’s swimming lesson and take pictures. Classes will end 5 min. early to give parents the opportunity to talk to their child’s instructor about their progress. If you wish to visit on deck, please remember to remove your shoes! Please note that picture taking is only permitted on Parent’s Day. Make up Lessons Occasionally lessons may be cancelled due to pool fouling, mechanical, or chemical problems. Makeup classes due to participant’s illness or personal commitments will not be available. Dry-land water safety lessons are part of all learn-toswim programs. Where a pool may close in an untimely manner, Instructors will use the time to focus on dry land water safety. If this is not possible, a credit may be issued for the missed class. Pool Fouling/Closure To reduce the number of closures due to pool fouling, participants not toilet trained are required to wear snug fitting plastic pants. No disposable diapers. Also, please keep eating to a minimum prior to swimming. Swim diapers are available at the Customer Service Desk. Change Room Admittance Guideline For the comfort of all patrons, children 7 years of age and older must use the appropriate change room of their own gender. If this is not suitable a family change room is available. Personal Belongings Do not leave valuables and belongings unattended in change rooms or cubicles. Use lockers or take belongings to your program area. The Town of Aurora is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Cell phones, Filming and Photography Please note that to ensure the privacy of others, the use of cell phone devices, filming or photography will not be permitted in the change rooms, or pool area during swimming programs or recreational swims. Stroller Strollers are not permitted on the pool deck or in the shower area. Please use the designated stroller parking area located in the family change room.

At present the Town maintains approximately 25 kilometers of trails. Come out and enjoy a leisurely hike through the natural valley land setting of mixed forests, meadows and wetland habitats of the Holland River Valley Trail, designated in 2000 as part of the regional Nokiidaa Trail. This trail is Aurora’s longest trail corridor stretching from Vandorf in the south (just west of Bayview Avenue) all the way up to St. John’s Sideroad at Industrial Parkway North. The trail corridor links municipal facilities such as the Town Hall, the Senior’s Centre and the Aurora Leisure Complex as well as the Aurora Community Arborteum, Sheppards Bush and Lambert Willson Park. Another significant trail corridor is the Willow Farm, Lakeview Trail system, a trail linking parks and linear open space corridors within the forested hills of St. Andrews in northwest Aurora. The topography is very undulating as the trail rises up to one of the highest points elevation within Aurora. All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks. Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times. Basketball Facilities in the Town of Aurora are either full court double net facilities or half court single net facilities. Basketball courts are not lighted. They can be found in the following park locations: www.aurora.ca • Ada Johnson Park - 2 half courts • Atkinson Park - 1 half court • Chapman Park - 1 full court • Confederation Park - 2 full courts • Hamilton Park - 1 full court • Hickson Park - 2 half courts • James Lloyd Park - 2 full courts • Seston Park - 1 half court • Summit Park - 1 full court • Tamarac Green - 1 half court • Thompson Park - 1 half court • William Kennedy Park - 1 half court tenniS couRtS All Town of Aurora tennis courts are asphalt surface, regulation size, and are lighted until 11:00pm daily.
