FITNESS & WEIGHT ROOM
POOL
Q: Hi, I have a 4month baby and I was wondering about taking the baby swimming - can you give me some information?
A: The parent-tot swim is for children up to 5yrs old. The cost is $2 per adult and because your child is under 1 year there is no charge for them. Please have your child in a swim diaper or a cloth diaper with a plastic pant covering the diaper. My suggestion is to also have a t-shirt or envelope shirt/onesie on the baby, while the pool is warm, the little ones loose body heat very quickly.
Q: Hello, I am coming to wallace emerson to teach aquafitness in the summer on Thursday evenings. I'd like to get into your pool and work in it a bit, perhaps do someone else's class so I am familiar with what my students will experience in the pool. Who do I need to speak to to organize this?
A: Any pool programming inquiries should go through the pool department. Jennifer Courage is the person to talk to: jcourag@toronto.ca or 416-392-7985
Q: How long is the pool
A: The pool is 25 metres long
