MeSSAGe fRoM tHe CHAiRthe winter season is just about here and many people would like to run away from the wet west coast weather. Hold on - it can also be a lot of fun enjoying some of your favorite winter activities right here!

now is the time to bring out the skates, to take advantage of the hot tub during a public swim session, to try a workout in the wellness centre or to take a water exercise class in the pool.

By taking part in some physical activity or wellness program, hopefully all of us can find a little extra energy as we gear up for the holiday season. One way to ensure that families get more active is to give the gift of active play; a pass to the CVRD’s sports or aquatic centre makes a great present.

Check out all the opportunities that the sports and aquatic centres have to offer and have a safe and happy winter in the Comox Valley!

HeLp pReVent A pooL fouLinGAll children not toilet trained must wear an article of clothing that will keep fecal matter contained in the event of a fouling. A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1 - 24 hours. Health authorities enforce this regulation. We suggest you use plastic pants or Little Swimmers pool pant diapers. Little Swimmers are available for purchase at the front desk and most major retailers. Please note that standard cloth or plastic diapers will not contain fecal matter and are therefore not permitted in the pool. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

kiDS pRoGRAMSA sport for all seasons, ice skating is a great way to get exercise, meet people and have fun. To learn the basics of skating, it is important to start out on the right “foot” by taking a few lessons. On-ice instruction prevents the development of bad habits, improves confidence and helps to master the basic techniques. Learning to skate also develops coordination, poise and good posture. Getting started takes only a little knowledge and plenty of enthusiasm!

YoGA

ReStoRAtiVe YoGARelaxation is considered one of the most important aspects of Yoga. We don’t have to be active for something to happen. Our body holds tension in our muscles and we are not even aware of it; by using our breath and softening into longer, supported posture (Asanas), we facilitate our bodies ability to open and release on it’s own. Ideal for those recovering from injury or illness.---------------------------------------------------------------------Monday 6:45-8:15pmAquatic Centre wave Roominstructor - Akiko Shima
