NOTICE:

There are changes being made to the WPSS Swim/Water Exercise Program effective September 1, 2025

The Board of WPSS has decided that Saturday bookings for the pool at the ACT Centre will be cancelled effective September 2025, due to a lack of participation.  The Tuesday bookings, with an exercise therapist, will continue as before.  Starting in the next fiscal year, Nov. 1, 2025 – Oct. 31, 2026, members who wish to participate in swim therapy at a facility of their choice, may claim up to $442 per annum, which is the cost of a Senior’s Basic Annual Membership at a City of Edmonton recreation center.  All claims must be accompanied with receipts. This will not count against your claims for Therapy, or Aids & Devices.  Claims for Sept or Oct 2025, must be for those two months only.
