Good afternoon Stingrays families,

Thank you for your patience in sending this email out.  We’re all looking forward to the Winter Break and many of you have been watching the ongoing updating of the DST Winter Break Event Page

In a typical year, over both of the 2 wk breaks (Winter & Spring), our program would shut down for the 1st week of the Break and then do a skeleton schedule for the 2nd week of the Break.  The Cowichan Aquatic Centre (CAC) and ourselves have been going on this assumption in lieu of the moving target that we’ve all been enduring.  But, as we all know, this is not a typical year…

In the interest of the continued sharing of the water time, the CAC has been working towards an equitable allocation of space for the entire community.  This has been especially difficult with having the Wave Pool emptied and only 1 pool to work with for the entire population of the Cowichan Valley.  In consideration of this and the CAC’s ongoing commitment to make the Stingrays a priority for the other 44 weeks of the year, the Stingrays will be taking an extended break from the water from Mon Dec 21 – Sun Jan 3* with a return to our regular programming come Mon Jan 4, 2021.  
--> *A/B/C Groups will continue their Road To Recovery gym sessions as scheduled

As this was unexpected by all of us, we are working towards solutions that will see everyone receive the 1wk of expected programming but in a different manner.  We have not arrived at a solution but wish to assure you that we are working towards fulfillment of the typical programming.

In the meantime, we suggest that all families take advantage of the opportunity to utilize the pool together and book your “family pod swim” at https://www.reccowichan.ca/ - please note that you do need to book this at least 1 day in advance.  If you're requiring assistance in doing so, I'm happy to help where I can!

 

Thank you for your understanding and enjoy the extended down time with your family,
Leanne.
