There is a total of 40 classes available, with two or three classes per level of swimmer, a city spokesperson said in an email. Each class has a maximum of four to six participants, depending on the class level. As of Monday afternoon, many of the classes were already full, with waitlists. The first intake of classes start on May 2, and run every Sunday in May and June. Further class intakes are planned for later in the year. For kids in pre-school classes up to Swim Kids Level 4 classes, a parent will be required to be in the pool to supervise, as instructors are not allowed to be in contact with the students, under public safety rules. ....
Ripping off the Band-aid and closing the pool might be the right choice right now, Coun. Kyle Sampson said. I m not saying it s a perfect option. We went from March to September with no pool. (Closing the pool) for five weeks of maintenance may not be the worst thing in the world. In a report to council, city director of community services and public safety Adam Davey said the city budgeted $458,941 to maintain the pool in 2021, under the assumption it could reopen in 2022. However, nearly $220,000 is in the form to transfers to other city divisions – primarily the city s district energy system – and maintaining the building in a safe condition still has costs, so the permanent closure was only expected to save $150,000 to $200,000 in 2021. Davey urged council to approve demolishing the building as soon as possible, likely early next year, to reduce further costs. ....
There is no race this year but that’s not going to stop Michael Warr. On Wednesday morning the 77-year-old retired school teacher plans to do his own race, with only a ticking clock to try to beat. He’ll start at the Prince George Aquatic Centre for an 800-metre swim, then once he’s dried himself off he’ll get a friend to drive him to Otway Nordic Centre, the usual start of the Iceman, to complete the eight-kilometre cross-country ski segment. Once he’s done with that he’ll lace on his sneakers for a 10-km run to the outdoor ice oval at Exhibition Park. After five kilometres of skating he’ll get back into his running shoes for a five km run through a nearby residential area on the traditional Iceman path back to the Aquatic Centre, where his race will end. ....
