Swim Test: A swim test may be administered by the Lifeguards when swimming ability is in question. In order to access the large pool unaccompanied, the candidate must swim 25m of the pool without touching the bottom or sides of the pool and must be comfortable putting their face in the water. Lifeguards have the discretion to revoke access to the large pool if results of the swim test pose a safety risk.

High Risk Participants:  High risk participants are defined as those who have medical conditions or illness that may put them at risk in an aquatic environment and those who are unable to control behaviour and impulses require direct supervision at the aquatic facility. High risk participants require a parent/ guardian ratio of 1:1

Serious Medical Conditions: Any person with a serious medical condition should be accompanied by a person who is knowledgeable of their condition and responsible for their direct supervision.

• No cancellations. No refunds, credits or raincheck will be issued.
