Leisure

During this time of pandemic crisis, the Town of Sutton wishes to THANK all its monitors and lifeguards for the work done this summer. They faced all challenges brilliantly to the satisfaction of the children and those who used the services!

THANKS to all the citizens for their collaboration and understanding during this unusual summer!

August 24, 2020 – The survey is no longer available. Thank you for your participation.

To everyone who subscribed, themselves or their children, and participated in swimming classes or aquatic activities (aquafitness), the Town of Sutton invite you to complete this appreciation survey: https://forms.gle/WhpQYqEFweg5CYRi6.

We would like to collect your constructive comments to improve the aquatic activities we offer.

Thank you for your help!

The Town is happy to announce that we will be able to open the pool as of June 29, 2020.

To respect the Public Health guidelines, we had to change our swimming lessons schedule. So, if you are already pre-registered, please note that your place in the activity is assured, but the time slot and day might change.

Here is the new schedule:

Health measures

Swimming lessons for Juniors 5 to 10 will be the same as usual. The instructor will stay out of the water to respect physical distancing.

For the Preschool and Juniors 1 to 4, the lessons will be in a parent-child format. Meaning, that the parent must be in the water with the child during the swimming lesson.

To eliminate sources of transmission, we will use the pool equipment as little as possible. We strongly encourage you to purchase:

• An aquafitness belt, an aquatic noodle and aquatic foam dumbbells for Aquajogging and Aquaforme.
• An aquatic board and a leg float “Pull Buoy” for Juniors 5 to 10.
• A life jacket (VFI), an aquatic noodle and aquatic foam dumbbells for Preschool and Junior 1 to 4.

In addition, we ask you to avoid the changing rooms. We suggest that you already arrive in a swimsuit and carry all your things in a large bag.

To have access to the activities, you will need to:

• Respect the rules of physical distancing.
• Wash your hands at the beginning and the end of the activity.
• Take a twenty (20) seconds long shower.
• Disinfect all personal items entering and leaving the pool.
• Follow the instructions given by the instructor.
• Make a self-diagnosis before showing up for each lesson.
• If you have one (1) symptom among these:
• Start or worsening of a cough
• Fever (temperature 38 °C and above, temperature taken by mouth)
• Breathing difficulty
• Sudden loss of smell without nasal congestion, with or without loss of taste
• If you have two (2) of these symptoms:
• A general symptom (muscle pain, headache, fatigue or significant loss of appetite)
• sore throat
• Diarrhea

Anyone who presents one or more of these symptoms or who has been in contact with an infected person or who could be infected should not frequent the pool and must contact the COVID-19 information line at 1 877 644-4545 and notify the responsible of the pool.
