Swims take place in the Western Student Recreation Centre pool. Campers are supervised by certified lifeguards and counsellors who have received pool training. The pool itself is 1.35 meters (4.4 feet) deep in the shallow end and 3.4 meters (11.2 feet) deep in the deep end. If you would prefer that your child wear a life jacket at all times, please indicate so during online registration or on the registration form.

On the first designated swim-day your child will be asked to perform a swimming test (unless the life jacket option has been selected). The swimming test requires the child to swim across the width of the shallow-end of the pool (counsellors are present in the water to supervise and assist if necessary). Any camper who does not pass the test will be required to wear a life jacket, regardless of whether he/she has passed any swimming levels. Whether a child passes a swim test is at the sole discretion of the trained lifeguard on duty. When the camper is dropped off on their first day please confirm life jacket requirements with his/her counsellor.
*Pool side activities will be provided and supervised should a camper decide not to swim on a given day.
