We understand there may be some confusion around the use of masks in pools. We are taking our direction, as we have been since the pandemic began, from the Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services. On March 24, the Chief Medical Officer of Health clarified that masks are required for all low intensity activities, including those in a pool. While participants receiving training or instruction are not required to wear masks in the pool, instructors and parent/adult helpers are. We are only able to offer these private swim lessons if we can do so safely under the current restrictions.
