Recreation, Leisure & PLAY Guide - Summer 2019 !1 - Town of Prescott
Office of the Mayor
Summer has arrived in the Fort Town!

And so has the third annual edition of our Summer Recreation Guide, detailing all of the
warm-weather happenings in Prescott. Being able to finally swap sweaters for shorts
lets us take full advantage of the sunny shores of the St. Lawrence River with a
schedule of events that includes something for everyone.

Centennial Park will again be the best way to beat the heat,
thanks to the beach at Kelly’s Bay and the adjacent Community
Pool (opening on June 1st). Take in the Community Pool Party on
June 28th and watch for work to begin at Centennial Park this
summer on our new Splash Pad, which will turn our summer hub
into Prescott’s very own take on a water park when it opens in
Summer 2020.

Another riverside treat this summer is arriving on June 25th,
when the famous Bluenose II docks at Prescott for the night.
Be sure to take in this Canadian treasure.

Our internationally acclaimed St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival hits the boards at the
Kinsmen Amphitheatre in the Prescott Marina for shows between July 13th and August
17th. This summer’s plays are The Winter’s Tale and Cyrano de Bergerac.

The amphitheatre is also home to another outstanding season of the Summer Concert
Series, running Sunday evenings in July and August. Shows run the gamut from country
to rock, and are all free of charge (although freewill donations are appreciated).

Fort Wellington National Historic Site will be the site of our Canada Day celebrations,
including a Hands Fireworks show at dusk. Fort Wellington is also hosting Historic
Places Day on July 6th and the annual St. Lawrence Valley Car Club Show on July 7th.

Read on for much more information and the complete calendar of events.
Enjoy the Fort Town Summer of 2019, and see you at Kelly’s Bay!

                                     Water Quality Testing
 Water quality testing is conducted weekly by the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit.
     Results are shared on the “Prescott Centennial Pool” Facebook page, and the website
                         and social media accounts of the LGL Health Unit.

        Signage is posted at the beach in the event of a “Caution” or “Closure” alert as a
result of high levels of bacteria in the water, as required. Periods after rainfall are most likely to
                            have high levels of bacteria in beach water.

These high levels can increase a swimmer’s risk of developing irritations and infections. The most
  common problems are minor skin, eye, ear, nose, and throat infections, and stomach illness.

      While the Health Unit strives to alert swimmers when conditions are not suitable for
   swimming, the public must be aware that conditions may change, and that there is always
                       a level of risk when swimming in untreated water.

                                                       Beach Rules
                                                       • No dogs on the beach

Public Swim
Guardians or group leaders are responsible for the children in their care while
     at the facility and must directly supervise the children at all times.
• Children under 10 who are swimmers must pass the swim test - can enter the water with their
  caregiver outside of arm’s reach - swimmer can enter pool (not facility) without caregiver
• Children under 10 who are non-swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
  responsible for their direct supervision (caregiver must be “within arm’s reach”)
          o Maximum of 4 children who can swim per adult supervisor (1:4)
          o If all children wear lifejackets, the ratio increases (1:8)
• Children under the age of 6 will be admitted to the pool accompanied by a parent or guardian
  responsible for their direct supervision (caregiver must be “within arm’s reach”) at a maximum
  two children for each parent/guardian (1:2)

             Swimming Lessons
     Prescott Centennial Pool offers all levels of the Lifesaving Society’s Swim For Life®
      instructional program, which stress in-water practice to develop solid swimming
           strokes and skills, as well as Water Smart® education to last a lifetime.

            Children can begin swimming lessons at 4 months old. Developing comfort
       within the water, as well as a healthy respect for it, is necessary in order for
      swimming lessons to be as successful as possible later on. Twenty-one levels of
   swimming lessons are offered at our pool, including Parent and Tot, Fitness Swimmer,
                   Junior Lifeguard, and Bronze level lifeguard training.

        If your child has never participated in swimming lessons before, we will do an
    assessment to place them in the correct level range. It is never too late to learn how
    to swim, or to improve your swimming strokes and endurance. For adults, we offer a
                  stroke correction class as well as a fitness swimming class.
