(Southwest)
Welcome to the spring edition of the Program and Activities
Guide!
As an age-friendly community, we care for and value all of
our citizens, regardless of age. This guide is packed with all
the programs and activities you need to keep healthy and
active the entire season, whether you like to play cards,
swim, dance, relax with yoga or have fun with your friends
playing pickleball. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
Every spring, hundreds of people in Waterloo participate in
environmental events and I encourage you to join us! There
are community clean ups, the 20 Minute Makeover, Earth
Hour and Waterloo Earth Day – plenty of opportunities
for you and your family to help protect and nurture our
environment. Please visit waterloo.ca/earthday for more
information.
One of the building blocks of making a great city is good
strategic planning. This is where, as a community, we pause
and take a good look at where we are and where we want
to be. Your ideas and input on issues and projects across the
city and the region will help shape the future of Waterloo.
Please visit waterloo.ca/strategicplan and use our online tool
to tell us what you think about Waterloo’s future and how
we can work together to make our city an even better place
to live, work, learn and play.
Be sure to stay current on the events happening around our
city by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

About the Program
& Activities Guide
The Program & Activities Guide
is produced four times a year.
Copies are delivered to most
Waterloo households via the
Waterloo Chronicle. Copies are
available for pick up at recreation
facilities and local agencies in the
KW area.
The guide promotes leisure, arts,
culture and sports opportunities
offered by the city, the region,
community organizations and
local businesses.
From the newest classes to
popular favourites, the guide brings
you the best programs in active
living, wellness, aquatic leadership
and lessons, leisure pursuits, and
personal development for
all ages and abilities.
City of Waterloo programs and
services are designated by the
City of Waterloo logo.
Every effort has been made
to ensure the accuracy of the
information listed within this guide.
Program changes do occasionally
occur and may not be reflected
in the guide, due to information
available at print deadlines.

The upcoming summer issue of
the guide will be available on

KINDY DRAMA
Our Kindy Program for pre-school children has been
developed by experts in early year development so very
young children learn to take their first steps into our fastmoving world with confidence. The key to this
is to allow children opportunities to develop
skills in verbal communication. These
highly creative classes involve storytelling,
dramatic play, speech training, creative
movement, songs and many language
development activities, all based around a
central theme. Some of the important life
skills our Kindy children learn include;
listening, sharing, taking turns, following
instructions, memory skills, vocalizing
thoughts and emotions.
PRIMARY PROGRAM
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy believes the Primary
years of school are crucial in building a positive
approach to life. The extensive curriculum covering
these years is designed to quickly develop in creativity,
articulate communication and overall confidence.
Introductory activities develop spontaneous language work
and ad-lib skills, teaching children how to role play,
speak in full sentences and be spontaneous. By doing
so, young people become better at resolving conflict and
handling situations that may come up in their lives. Speech
work is always a very important part of the curriculum.
Children are trained, in a fun way, how to use their
voices effectively as a communication tool.
30
SPEECH WORK
Exercises include: Projection - training the children how to
breathe and use the full power in their young voices. Jaw, lip
and tongue exercises are used to develop good articulation.
Resonance exercises help with the tone and richness of their
voices. Expression exercises bring life and vitality to speech.
MOVEMENT AND IMPROVISATION
Children are taught how to use their bodies as an
expressive tool, using music, through mime and creative
movement. At the Primary level, children work on improvised
performance pieces teaching them how to ad-lib and speak
out with confidence and energy. Through the Helen O’Grady
method, children are able to take on a character, role-play and
make up their own lines in a creative way, and learn how to
sustain their language development, allowing multiple sentence
flow. At the end of the day this training helps children to become
articulate and expressive public speakers.
YOUTH PROGRAM
Designed to accommodate teenagers,
our Youth program offers further
opportunities to students with a
continued interest in drama. Whilst the
self-development aspect is continued in
youth theatre, the approach is more theatre
arts orientated. The varied and challenging
programme includes, voice work building
improvisations, mini-scripts monologues,
open ended duologues, soap operas, radio
plays and theatre games.

Before you start swim lessons
Become familiar with our facility by attending a public or
family swim. Pool schedules are available at
waterloo.ca/swim
How are we doing?
Your feedback is welcome at any time. Comment sheets
are available at the front desk. If you have a comment
about current lessons please let us know.
Lockers and jewelry
Lockers are provided for use with your own lock. Please
do not wear any jewelry while swimming. Remember
to lock your locker. We are not responsible for lost or
stolen items.
Missed lessons
If you miss a scheduled lesson, we are unfortunately
unable to make it up. You do not need to call us.
Shower before you swim
All swimmers must shower with soap and water before
entering the pool. Footwear (shoes or boots) is not
allowed near the showers or pool area. We offer two
choices: remove your footwear and go barefoot or
purchase reusable shoe covers (available at the reception
desk for 75¢).
Lesson start time
Swimmers should go to the pool deck at the lesson start
time (not earlier). Parents can escort their child to the
lesson on the first day to meet the instructor. Look for
signs on the pool deck with the name of your child’s swim
level (ex. Waterloo Splash 2) and wait for the instructor.
Observation gallery
Spectators are welcome to watch swimmers from our
second floor observation gallery (seats over 300).
Class transfers and new registrants
You may switch classes prior to the start of the third
lesson if space is available. We will accept new registrants,
if space is available, up to the beginning of the fifth lesson.
Swim level evaluations
Free swim level evaluations are available if you have been
out of lessons for more than a year. Call the Swimplex for

If lessons are cancelled unexpectedly, announcements will
be made on local radio stations. We are unable to make
up lessons cancelled due to emergency closures.

We review all requests for specific instructors or
specific gender of instructor; however, we are unable to
guarantee that any specific request will be granted.
Feedback day
On the sixth lesson, one parent is encouraged to meet
the instructor on deck during the last 10 minutes of the
class to receive a verbal progress report. If you have
concerns about your child’s lessons, speak with the
aquatic supervisor. An evaluation form can be found at

If enrollment is low, the City of Waterloo reserves the
right to cancel swim classes up to three days prior to
program start dates.

Pre/Post Natal Waterfit
Age: 16Y+
$131.08
The water is a perfect environment
for pre and post natal women to
prepare for a birth and recuperate
following nine months of weight
gain and body shape changes. The
water counteracts the effect of
gravity, unloading the joints and
greatly reduces impact. The water
provides multi-directional resistance
for balanced muscle work and allows
individuals to change the workout
intensity to suit their needs. The
turbulence of the water makes the
core stabilizers of the body work
while toning the abdominal and back
muscles. Thermal conductivity keeps
the body refreshed throughout the
workout.

fundamental physical skills like balance and coordination, while finding their style on the board.
Campers are given time to master tricks and challenge themselves to learn and develop. Our coaches
are on hand every step of the way to help correct flaws and accelerate learning. Campers also
participate in other sports and camp programming daily, for a well-rounded summer experience.
Campers are required to bring their own skateboard or scooter, CSA approved helmet, elbow pads,

Waterloo’s natural areas
Do you live near a natural area?
Help us protect the natural areas in our city!
Respect property boundaries
Respect our wildlife
Encroachment is unauthorized use of public
land as an extension of one’s own property.
From mammals and birds, to reptiles,
amphibians, and insects, wildlife foster a
healthy forest and share it with residents
living nearby.
Altering public land by mowing, pruning, or
placing items such as garbage, yard waste,
sheds, fences, play equipment, composters,
vehicles, and bird feeders on public land
is not permitted. Encroachment negatively
impacts natural areas by smothering native
vegetation, introducing non-native species,
compacting soil and causing erosion.
Drain pools and hot tubs properly
Water from pools and hot tubs is generally
laden with chemicals that can have a
negative impact on vegetation and water
features when drained into a park or
natural area.
Place the drain tube on your property, away
from the park or natural area, to allow water
to filter into the soils in your yard.
Let wildlife feed from the forest
Wildlife relies on plants, soils and organic
debris for survival. When people harvest from
the forest, plants may be depleted allowing
undesirable plants to establish. Try planting
native plants in your garden to enjoy, while
leaving the wild plants for wildlife to use and
future generations to admire.
Waterloo is home to
non-poisonous snakes. A
healthy population of these
snakes around your property
is beneficial because they
can help keep local rodents
in check – more so than
cats!
A snake will slither away when startled and
will not hurt you. Teaching children to observe
wildlife from afar will help avoid confrontation
while respecting the wildlife and their habitat.
Please do not destroy burrows, nests or other
habitat and remember to always stay on
designated trails.

Yellow Fish Road™ Program
The Yellow Fish Road™ program is a hands-on environmental
activity for youth ages 7 and up. Participants paint “yellow fish”
symbols next to storm drains and distribute informative brochures to
nearby households.
Rain water enters road storm drains and flows directly to streams
and ponds, untreated. Help teach residents to keep storm water
clean by organizing a painting activity in your neighbourhood!
Painting kits and Yellow Fish Road™ resources are available to help
you prepare for painting day! For program information, visit Trout
Unlimited Canada’s website yellowfishroad.org
To register your painting activity in Waterloo, complete the form
found on our website at waterloo.ca/stewardship
