Know before you go! The following COVID-19 protocols continue to be in place to ensure the safety of staff and participants:  

• Modifications to Red Cross swim lessons will remain in place for the spring season (lessons beginning in April). This means water safety instructors will deliver swim lessons from the pool deck and Red Cross Swim Preschool and Swim Kids 1-4 programs will require a parent/guardian in the water for the full duration of the class to assist with swimmers.  A maximum of 2 children in the same class can be with one parent/guardian. Deep water activities for these levels will be changed to chest deep water (where applicable) to accommodate parents/guardians who may not have swimming abilities.
   
• For the summer season (lessons beginning July), parents/guardians will no longer be required to participate in Red Cross preschool programs for children ages 3 and up and Red Cross Swim Kids levels 1-4.
   
• Current City Council direction requires face masks be worn in civic facilities with the following exceptions.
  • Patrons that are 18 and older utilizing weight rooms, fitness classes, courts and the walking tracks are permitted to remove their masks.
  • Youth athletes under the age of 18 are exempt from wearing a mask while they are participating in sports for the duration of the sport only.  
  • All patrons must remove their mask while in the water.   

Updates to the COVID-19 protocols at Leisure Centres will be posted on saskatoon.ca/leisurecentres.
