Swim lesson registration launches for Ottawa pools

With pools and splash pads re-opening in the capital, swimming lesson registration is now getting underway. 

Starting July 20, classes will resume with instructors out of the pool to ensure proper physical distancing. 

All lessons will be 30 minutes each to allow for cleaning and physical distancing between participants entering and leaving the facility. 

Only registered swimmers will be allowed in the pool during their designated time. 

Registration for swimming lessons opens at 9 p.m., Monday. 

Residents who are looking for a recreational swim must call the pool directly to book a same-day, hour-long swim during the free swim timeslots.
