Indoor pools
Registration for Spring 2021 Leisure Guide swimming lessons, scheduled to begin on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, is postponed until further notice.
At this time, we are not cancelling or postponing swimming lessons, which are scheduled to begin the week of May 9, 2021.
Registration for all other Spring 2021 Leisure Guide programming is not impacted by this delay, and programs continue to run following all current public health guidelines. There is also no impact to current fitness schedules or swim blocks at our facilities.
L’inscription aux leçons de natation du Guide Loisirs du printemps 2021, qui devait commencer le mardi 20 avril 2021, est repoussée jusqu’à nouvel ordre.
Pour le moment, nous n’annulons ou ne reportons pas les leçons de natation, qui sont censées commencer la semaine du 9 mai 2021.
L’inscription à tous les autres programmes du Guide Loisirs du printemps 2021 n’est pas touchée par ce report, et les programmes se poursuivent dans le respect de toutes les ordonnances de santé publique en vigueur. Les horaires de conditionnement physique et les plages horaires de natation de nos installations ne seront pas touchés non plus.
Indoor pools (excluding Eldon Ross and St. James Civic Centre) are now open at 25 percent capacity for aquatic sports groups, lane swimming, aquatic fitness classes, and limited public swimming.
Residents are encouraged to book two-hour swim and fitness blocks prior to arriving at the facilities, as there is no guarantee of available blocks for registration upon arrival.
Visitors will be required to wear a mask when they are not engaged in water activities, follow provincial public health orders and provide contact information upon entry in the event contract tracing is required by Public Health.
Customers are asked to review the COVID-19 safety measures and use the self-assessment symptom checklist before entering the facility.
Access to lockers and change rooms/showers is limited to ensure social distancing guidelines are maintained. Please come dressed to swim and ready to use the fitness amenities. There will only be limited quantities of lifejackets on-site for public use; however, swimmers may bring their own lifejackets, flutter boards and toys. Permission to use toys will be left to the discretion of the lifeguard.
Hand sanitizing stations will be available at each entrance.
Les piscines intérieures (sauf la piscine Eldon-Ross et du centre municipal de St. James) viennent de rouvrir aux groupes de sport aquatique, à la nage en longueur, aux cours d’aquaforme et, de façon limitée, au bain public, et ce, à 25 % de leur capacité.
On encourage les membres du public à réserver un bloc de natation ou de conditionnement physique de deux heures avant d’arriver aux installations, car il n’y aura pas nécessairement assez de place pour s’inscrire à l’improviste.
Les membres du public devront porter un masque lorsqu’ils ne sont pas dans l’eau, respecter les ordonnances de santé publique provinciales et fournir leurs coordonnées en entrant dans l’installation, pour le cas où Santé publique exigerait une recherche des contacts.
On demande aux membres de la clientèle de revoir les mesures de précaution liées à la COVID-19 et de s’autoévaluer à l’aide de la liste des symptômes avant d’entrer dans l’installation.
L’accès aux casiers et aux vestiaires et douches est limité pour que la consigne liée à l’éloignement physique puisse être appliquée. Nous vous prions d’être en tenue de bain pour la piscine ou de sport pour la salle de conditionnement physique avant d’arriver dans ces installations. Les gilets de sauvetage seront offerts sur place au public en quantité limitée seulement. Cependant, il sera possible d’apporter son propre gilet de sauvetage, sa propre planche et ses propres jouets. Il reviendra au sauveteur de permettre ou non l’utilisation des jouets.
Des postes de désinfection des mains seront installés à chaque entrée.
Until further notice all City of Winnipeg Indoor Pool saunas will remain closed due to COVID 19 restrictions.
