Swimming is a great way for families to get moving and have fun together. Whether you want to swim laps, join an AquaFIT class, enroll the kids in swimming lessons, take a leadership program or simply cool off, the RA’s Outdoor Pool is the place to be!
This outdoor facility offers 2 pools. The large pool is a heated L-shaped pool with a diving section (25m in length, 3.5ft at shallow end and 16.5ft at the deep end) and the small pool is a teaching pool (14m in length with a constant depth of 3.5 feet). The spacious pool deck is equipped with shady awnings, lounge chairs and picnic tables. An outstanding team of aquatics professionals lead programs and oversee the operations. All of this makes the RA outdoor pool the best place in Ottawa to spend a sunny afternoon.
