Back to SearchThe Stratford Lions Pool is set to open its doors for its 90th season today. Pre-season afternoon and evening swims will run June 10-27, with lengths swimming on weekdays from 4:30-5:30 p.m., and public swimming daily from 6-8 p.m. and weekends 2-4 p.m. Regular season hours start June 28.
Annually, over half a million Canadians participate in swimming, lifesaving, lifeguard and leadership training programs. As learning to swim is a fundamental life skill to help prevent drowning, the Lions Pool offers swimming lessons for people of all ages and abilities. Classes start at $84.00 per two-week session, and are taught by certified Lifeguards and Instructors. Lifesaving swimming courses such as Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross offer opportunities to learn firsthand how lifeguards and instructors deal with aquatic emergencies.
On July 1, the pool will host its annual Canada Day free swim from 2-4 p.m. Many fun activities are planned including face painting, water games, a colouring contest, and door prizes. Light refreshments will be available for purchase. As lineups build quickly, come early to beat the heat and crowd.
Season passes for the pool start as low as $90.00, with the family pass at $280.00 for the season, and can be purchased at the pool.
