What Your Toddler Should Wear


All tots younger than 35 months are required to wear a swim diaper while using our facility. Pool pants may be purchased at the Customer Service Desk. Parents, please remember to stay within arm's reach of your child at all times.
 

Recommended Swim Test


The Lifesaving Society's recommended swim test is a screening tool used at our facility to determine who can use the deep part of our pool without a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). It is to the discretion of the lifeguard(s) on duty as to who must perform the swim test for admission to the deep water. The swim test consists of the following sequence of skills:
  1. Safe entry into shallow water
  2. Swim 25 metres without stopping or resting in any style
  3. Exit the pool from deep water
  4. Jump (foot-first entry) into deep water
  5. Recover and tread water for 30 seconds, maintaining mouth and nose above the water at all times

Volunteer Opportunities


There are volunteer opportunities available at our facility. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the Aquatic Supervisor Alexa McEachern by email or phone 780-740-8063.
