Aquatic Centre: Reduced Operating Hours
May 28, 2024
Due to a shortage of lifeguards at the Fernie Aquatic Center, the pool will be operating with reduced hours and programming in June.
We're amending the schedule to try to minimize the impacts of our reduced hours on our existing programming and bookings. Unfortunately, this still means delaying daily opening times to 11:30am, cancellations of regular programming, and bookings, and reduced capacity during scheduled public swim times.
Given the required changes to the schedule, we're asking patrons to please take a peek at the online schedule before heading to the pool.
In the meantime, we're working hard to recruit and train new lifeguards through advertising campaigns, attending job fairs, visiting schools, and preparing to host another Aquatics Open House. We’re also running the required advanced aquatics courses regularly, offering training to our current staff, and exploring subsidized training options.
