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 (eg . 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 (eg . 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 common lap swimming etiquette (eg . allow swimmers doing faster strokes to swim ahead) . 4 . Applying common sense at all times (eg . share the space as best you can . . . no one has a right to “own” a lane indefinitely or insist on their own 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 .

Yet, if we are to believe what studies say, just 10% of us will still be on track with the goals we set back in January . That’s a disheartening statistic but it speaks to an issue so many people struggle with: how can you turn health and fitness goals into reality – once and for all! As a personal trainer, I’ve worked with clients in all stages of life with varying fitness abilities . I also manage a team of personal trainers through my company Funk~tion For Life . We have decades of experience helping clients live their best life through fitness . Let me share with you the top three things you can do to make 2016 the year that you commit to optimum health and wellbeing . 1. REFLECT ON YOUR GOALS The better you understand the real reason you want to get fit, the greater likelihood of success . Start with the first reasons that come to mind and then dig deeper to determine how achieving those goals will help you to lead your best life . For many of us, aesthetic reasons are often the first reason we cite for wanting to exercise . But ask yourself why you want to lose weight or increase muscle tone and you’ll likely find an answer with the power to truly inspire you . by Nicole Funk You might realize that by exercising you will increase your energy to play with your children, help manage stress, improve performance at work or maintain the lifestyle you love well into your golden years . For example, one of my long-time clients came to understand that the real reason she wanted to workout with a personal trainer was to enable her to continue to maintain her farm and look after her horses as she aged . The bottom line is - by committing to a goal that really matters to you, you are far more likely to succeed . 2. FIND YOUR CHEERLEADERS Once you have identified the right goals for you, the next step is to build your support team . This can be as simple as telling your family and friends about the reason you are prioritizing exercise . This will make your commitment feel real and help the people in your life understand the benefits that will come from your time in the gym, in the pool or on the trail . You can take it one step further by deliberately surrounding yourself with people that have a positive influence on your life . There is a lot of truth to the concept that we ‘become who we hang out with’ . Make sure you spend time with people who will support and encourage you to achieve your goals . Look for ways to find new cheerleaders - meet like-minded people at a group exercise class, work out with one of our personal trainers or join an activity group or sports team . 3. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to exercise . What works for your friend may not necessarily be the right approach for you . Also be aware that what worked for you 10 years ago might not be what your body needs today . As a mom of three, this is a lesson I have learned first-hand . Meet the team! From L-R: Kelsey Jones, Nicole Funk, Mhaire O’Shea, Greg Stephens About Nicole Funk and Funk~tion For Life A good way to personalize your fitness plan is to consult with a personal trainer . The Funk~tion For Life team of trainers who provide training at the community centre are highly educated, experienced and also trained to listen and assess your individual needs . For Nicole, fitness is integral to health and wellbeing. This is how Nicole has lived her life since an early age – excelling at sport, passionate about fitness and an advocate for investing in health. Today Nicole is sought-after as a personal trainer, helping clients use fitness as the path to living their best life. With a plan that is designed for your body – and your life – you will be less likely to succumb to injuries or fall off track . This is especially true for people who are new to exercise or getting back in the saddle after a major life event, such as having a baby or recovering from an injury or health issue . Through her company, Funk~tion For Life, Nicole and her team of first-class personal trainers offer tailored personal training programs for all ages and fitness abilities. Funk-tion For Life works with Recreation Penticton to create individual training plans, provide gym orientations and offer dynamic group exercise classes. Lastly, know that when your life gets crazy, exercise has the power to bring clarity and calm . After all, who doesn’t feel better after a good workout? For more information - see page 53.

Whether you’re a newbie to regular exercise or have been active for years, the Community Centre has everything you need to get fit and stay fit through your 50’s and beyond . Fitness Room Orientations for “Active Agers” Let’s face it, the gym can be an intimidating place if you’re unfamiliar with the equipment and don’t know how to do the exercises . For only $12, one of our certified personal trainers will take you through a 1 .5 hour long fitness room orientation where you’ll learn proper technique and how to use all the equipment safely and effectively . It’s a great way to gain confidence in the gym and begin putting together a regular fitness routine of your own (see pg . 57) . 50+ Group Fitness Program New this Spring is a group fitness program specific to the 50+ population! This class focusses on the basics of being physically fit through balance, coordination and strength, all in an age friendly environment . The intention is to help keep older adults strong, healthy and mobile while integrating a regular exercise routine into their lives . We’ll incorporate free weights, resistance bands, circuits and much more (see pg . 57) . www.penticton.ca/recreation Aquatic Fitness Programs If you find that exercise on dry land is a little too tough on your muscles, bones and joints, try an aquafit class!

You can adjust your own intensity during each class if needed and reward yourself with a soothing hot tub afterwards! (see pg . 59) .

(see pg . 8) . Outdoor Programs It doesn’t get much better than breathing in the fresh Okanagan air, so maybe taking an outdoor program is your best option for fitness this spring/summer .

Puncturevine forms dense mats along road shoulders, vacant lots, beaches and unpaved parking sites, its stems reaching up to 10 feet (3 metres) in length . The following trees are unwanted in our landscapes because they grow aggressively, seed/spread prolifically and establish quickly in areas including lanes, boulevards and landscapes . It is a summer annual plant which produces spiny seedpods that puncture tires and stick painfully into the feet of people and wildlife . PREVENT new infestations by seeding or planting disturbed soils with desirable plant species; by mulching (3-4” deep) and checking sources of fill, gravel and topsoil for contaminants . Russian Olive( Elaeagnus angustifolia), Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila) Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) Become familiar with these plants and remove them from your boulevard or landscape while they are young and more manageable . MONITOR your property for new plants beginning in May and then again every three weeks until frost . New plants need to be continually destroyed to ensure seeds do not form . It is also important for landowners to be able to recognize puncturevine at an early stage of growth, as this is when it can most easily be controlled, as opposed to when it is large and seedpods have matured . Dogs Off Leash Areas CONTROL infestations by hand-pulling or through chemical treatments . The best method of controlling puncturevine is to prevent establishment by destroying the first plants found in an area before seeds begin to form . Young puncturevine plants are easily controlled by hoeing, shallow tillage or by carefully hand-pulling plants OFF LEASH PARKS: WORK WITH your neighbours and local agencies to stop the spread of puncturevine in your community . For more information about puncturevine, or to report new infestations, please contact: OASISS (Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society) oasiss@shaw.ca • 250-404-0115 • www.oasiss.ca Puncturevine 74 • • • • Enjoy time with man’s best friend! Dogs must be on leash at all times unless at the following designated off leash locations: • City Yards (616 Okanagan Ave E .) • Ellis Creek Park (100 Industrial Place), • behind Water Treatment Plant (1900 Penticton Avenue) OFF LEASH BEACHES: • Okanagan Lake Park beach only (45 Lakeshore Drive E), • Three Mile Beach (boating beach area only), • Lakeside Road (4851 Lakeside Rd .) Dogs are not allowed on any other beaches, or on sports fields, at any time . For more information about Dogs in Parks please visit our website at www.penticton.ca/EN/main/community/ parks-trails-beaches/dogs-in-parks.html Puncturevine seed pod information and registration 250-490-2426 parks Canada Goose Management Program A Regional Success The average goose eats 5 pounds a day, and defecates 1 .5 pounds per day . This happens at your parks, beaches and school grounds . Concerns for public health, potential impacts to the local economy and the natural environment prompted the development of an Action plan to help control problems associated with the increasing goose population . GOOSE PROOF YOUR PROPERTY There are simple steps you can take to make your property less attractive to geese: • • • • Cover planters and turn basins upside-down Don’t leave tires outside Seal boat sheds and boats If you tarp boats, don’t let the tarps sag, but create a peaked “tent” • And if you leave for the winter…please “Goose Proof” your property before you go REPORT BANDED GEESE The Okanagan Valley Goose Management Committee is comprised of representatives from municipalities, regional districts and interested stakeholders with a common goal to maintain a naturally sustainable level of resident geese in the Okanagan Valley and to minimize the risk to human health and safety . Some local geese have been banded with leg-bands as part of a regional goose monitoring program . Help us monitor local goose population activities - if you observe geese with yellow, red or other leg bands please report the number of geese seen, location and date to www .okanagangooseplan .com . This is a Valley-wide concern and requires everybody’s support and participation . Here are some ways that you can support this program: For further information please go to www.okanagangooseplan.com, or contact the City of Penticton Parks Department at 250-490-2500, or parks@penticton.ca PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE GEESE! Feeding geese and ducks contributes to their overpopulation and encourages them to congregate at parks and beaches - increasing risks to human health, damage to property and reducing the quality of parks, beaches and recreational areas . Feeding geese and ducks is unhealthy for the waterfowl . HELP LOCATE AND REPORT GOOSE NEST SITES – ADDLING WORKS! Since 2007 the annual Valley-wide egg addling program is working as Valley ‘resident’ goose population numbers are not increasing . Egg addling has prevented over 8,500 new resident geese from entering the local population . With your help this program can continue to be successful . Please report nest site locations, either on public or private property, to the Addling Team in early spring (March-April) - nests are guarded by a pair of geese, usually located near water . Egg addling is an approved, effective and humane method to reduce the number of geese entering the local population, and must be done under federal permit by trained personnel .
