Fernie’s aquatic centre is reopening on Sept. 9 following annual maintenance and users can expect some program changes, including the implementation of a new wristband system.
All patrons will be issued a wristband each time they use the facility.
City staff said the wristbands will be a quick visual cue to identify swimmers who require direct adult supervision and will help differentiate public swimmers from those in registered programs.
A new hush swim program is set to start on Sept. 14.
The program offers swimming with less sensory distractions on Sunday’s from 10-11 a.m.
