Extended aquatic centre hours are coming to the Castlegar, Creston and Nelson Community Complexes from next week.
The expanded hours will be implemented at the Castlegar and District Community Complex on Apr. 14 and Apr. 21 at the Creston and Nelson Community Complexes.
“We are happy to announce, that we can now begin to offer increased hours of operation at our three main facilities.” said RDCK regional manager of operations and asset management, Craig Stanley.
At the beginning of last year, the RDCK rolled out subsidized lifeguard, swim and fitness instructor and personal training courses, which Stanley said has significantly increased staffing at the community complexes.
“With the increase in qualified staff, we are now able to offer increased hours of operation at our three main recreation facilities, with the potential of continued increases to come.”
The increased hours of operations for each facility are as follows:
