In a statement, the Vancouver park board said, “Parents are welcome to support and guide their children at our pools. However, organized and structured private swim instruction, including formal lessons, is not permitted unless it is provided by authorized aquatics staff or through an approved private business.”
The board explained that anyone offering formal swim instruction at a public pool must meet liability standards, including holding a municipal business licence and insurance that meets park board requirements. “These standards help ensure that all instruction is delivered safely, consistently, and in alignment with facility guidelines.”

Last I checked my common sense, parents are already responsible and liable for their children's safety. So what kind of BS is this stupid policy?
I can understand how Parks Board / the muni gov are concerned about liability. But if parents / guardians aren't allowed to teach their kids something as simple and essential as swimming, then the Parks Board / muni gov better have the capacity to offer free lessons to satisfy the demand because they are removing the fundamental rights of parents to raise and teach their children essential life skills.
What a bunch of morons...
