Drop In Swim Activities
Explore the daily activities that are offered at the pool.
Adaptive swim is designed for individuals with special needs. We invite all caregivers and individuals to try this quieter swim time. Caregivers are not charged admission.
Family Swim offers an opportunity for parents or guardians (aged 14 and older) to enjoy quality time with their children in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. We encourage caregivers and their young children to take advantage of this quieter swim session. To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, the supervision ratio for children ages 9 and under, who do not pass the facility swim test (swim tests are available to ages 6-9), is one parent/guardian per two children, or one parent/guardian per six children if they are wearing lifejackets.
During lane swimming, the deep end of the pool is divided into lanes so that determined swimmers can benefit from a structured environment and concentrate on their strokes.
Public Swim is for people of all ages and abilities, whether you are an advanced swimmer or new to the aquatic world, to enjoy our pool.
The Alliston Rotary Pool has free swimming on Friday nights! Join us every Friday in the summer 5:15pm-7:15pm for theme nights!
