Swimming

Due to COVID-19, there are a number of changes to our programs and services. Registration for Fall Session "A" focuses on outdoor classes at our local parks including children’s programming, fitness and personal training classes along with virtual programming. All the programs can be found in our Fall Activity Guide. Programs start the week of September 8.  On September 28, recreational swims at the Templeman Aquatic Centre are set to begin, followed by Aqua Fitness programs beginning October 13.

You can enjoy public, family, therapy, lane and senior swims. Check out the recreational swim schedule.

Pool Fouling

In the event of a pool fouling, we must close the pool to clean it as per the Health Regulations. These are unpredictable events and can mean a 1 to 13 hour closure. Help us prevent a fouling in the pool:

• Shower prior to entry and re-entry into the pool;
• Do not swim if you are unwell;
• Anyone not toilet trained must wear clothing (like a rubber pant or swim diaper) to keep fecal matter contained; and
• Children sized swim diapers are for sale at the Customer Service Desk
