Pool Schedule Program Descriptions
Wondering what kind of programs are offered on our pool schedule? You'll find those right here:
- Public Swim: The liveliest of our scheduled swims! Everyone is welcome! Children under the age of six require a guardian in the water and within arms’ reach with them.
- Family Swim: A swim specifically for families to enjoy time together. A parent or guardian is required to be always in the water for this swim, and within arms’ reach for children under 7.
- Lane Swim + Family Swim: Enjoy a quieter swim while the pool is open for lane swimmers. Families can relax and play in the shallow end and beach area while lap swimmers make use of the lanes.
- Swimming Lessons: Register your child for Lifesaving Society swimming lessons! These lessons focus on building technique, improving endurance and developing essential water safety skills. All of our swim lesson registration is now done online!
- Aquafit: Join our instructors for a 45-minute water fitness class that combines cardio and muscle strengthening exercises. All fitness levels are welcome.
- Within arms’ reach: All children ages six and under are required to be within arms’ reach of a parent/guardian, regardless of swimming abilities. Lifejackets are encouraged, but do not replace the rule that children must be supervised.
- Private Rentals: Available for occasions such as birthday parties and rehabilitation with a private specialist. Please contact us at 250.865.4012 or [email protected] for more information about private rentals!
