The following Rules must be observed at all times while using the pool/whirlpool area:
- The pool is unsupervised. It is strongly recommended that swimmers should not swim alone. According to the Ontario Pool Act, children under twelve (12) years of age are not allowed within the pool area unless directly supervised at all times by an adult who is not less than eighteen (18) years of age. It is recommended that children under six (6) years of age should be within arm’s length at all times.
- Each user must take a shower using warm water and soap, and thoroughly rinse off all soap before entering and re-entering the pool. All oils, lotions and/or creams must be removed before entering the pool to provide the hygienic environment required.
- No person infected with a communicable disease or having open sores on his or her body may enter the pool.
- It is recommended that pregnant women or people with serious health conditions check with their physician prior to use.
- Children not toilet trained, or any other person who may lose control of elimination functions must wear approved watertight attire.
- Personal flotation devices and toys are permitted as long as they are specifically designed for swimming pool use and do not interfere with others using the facility or the mechanical operation of the pool equipment (e.g., small toys which can block the skimmer).
- Change rooms are provided. Proper bathing attire must be worn in the pool. Street clothing or substitutes for bathing suits are not permitted as they can create a safety concern and interfere with the effective operation of the pool equipment.
- Bathing attire and towel must not be worn outside the pool/whirlpool area or in the common areas.
