Phase 1 – Reopening of the Cardio and Weight Room ( Aug 10)
Each member will be given a bottle of disinfectant upon entry and are required to wipe down any machine they have used upon completion of their exercise. These bottles will be returned at the end of their session so that they can be used in subsequent time slots. Staff will disinfect the bottles along with the machines before the next group of members arrives.
Members seeking access to the Cardio Room Room will do so through the front doors, entering directly to the left of the main doors, into the Cardio Room.
Members accessing the Weight Room will do so through the double doors into the Weight Room lobby (at the south end of the upper parking lot.)
Physical distancing rules will be enforced in these areas. Members are not permitted to use a machine that is less than 2 meters or 6 feet from another member.
Phase 2 – Reopening of the Aquatics Wing (Aug. 17)
Members will have access to change rooms for showering prior to entry into the pool (as per Ontario Public Pool Regulations 565).

One person (or 1 family – a family is considered those individuals who are under the same family membership) will be allowed in the shower area at a time. Other members who require a shower must wait at a distance of 2m until the shower is free.
The lifeguard will clear the pool at the one hour mark. All members will be required to exit immediately and change as quickly as possible. As the change rooms are cleared, a staff member will disinfect all three change rooms and touch points on the deck using Clorox 360 spray or the Victory Gun.
There will be 30 minutes between each pool session to allow patrons to change, and exit, limiting the mixing of cohorts; as well as allowing for staff to clean and disinfect this area.
