Pool Schedule

Aquatic Admission Standards

Non-swimmers aged 10 and under and all children aged 5 and under must be accompanied by a participating guardian at least 16 years of age who is responsible for the direct supervision of the child and always swimming within arm’s reach.  Children aged 6 to 10 must be tested to demonstrate their ability to swim 25 meters uninterrupted to be permitted to swim unaccompanied.

For increased safety in our aquatic facility, all children who participate in the following sanctioned programs who wish to swim in the deep end, must complete a brief swim test prior to entering the deep end of our pool.

Children that successfully complete the test will be given a wristband to wear. Only those children with a wristband are allowed to swim in the deep end.

• Public and Toonie Swims
• Pool Rentals

• Children 6-10 years swim 2 widths of the pool uninterrupted without goggles with their face in

• Must be accompanied by a guardian 16 years of age or older who remains in the water and within arm’s reach at all times. Ratio of guardian/children is 1:2

• If lanes ropes are in, the swim test will become 1 length of the pool with 20 seconds of surface support

• One long whistle blast: Exit the pool immediately at the closest side. This signals a pool clear in an emergency, and your quick exit is crucial for everyone's safety.

Lane Speed and Direction

• Choose a lane that matches your swimming speed. If you find yourself continually passing others or being passed, please switch to a more suitable lane. You may be asked to move for your safety and the safety of others.
• Lane speed is relative; you may swim in a faster lane one day and a slower one the next.
• Be aware of your surroundings and other swimmers at all times.
• Follow the general swim pattern, as indicated on posted signs at each double lane.

Passing

• Only pass at the end of the lane.
• If you must pass mid-lap, do so only if it's clear and safe.
• If someone is passing you, allow them to do so.
• Avoid passing aggressively or in a way that could endanger others or block their path.
• Do not hit or clip other swimmers to force them out of your way. Wait until it's safe to pass. Ask the lifeguard for assistance if needed.

Turning

• Perform flip turns carefully, ensuring you turn towards the center of the wall. Avoid flip turning if the wall is crowded.

Resting

• Please do not hang off lane ropes as this can cause them to loosen and break.

Lane Swim Times

• Review the swim schedule carefully
• Be mindful of your scheduled time in the facility and ensure you enter and exit within your allotted time.
• Lane swim is for individuals who understand lane etiquette and can swim continuous laps using proper strokes.
