Pool Schedule

The Ruth Inch Memorial Pool (RIMP) has re-opened under specific guidelines and with additional public safety measures in place as approved by the Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO). The main pool, hot tub, and limited numbers in the steamroom will be available for use. 

Regular pool operating hours will continue at this time with staff monitoring the water every hour, and sanitizing all touchpoints and surfaces several times a day. We ask residents who become ill to stay home and look after themselves and encourage those you know are sick to do the same.

• Several swimmers (as many as 8 or more) can fit in a single lane if proper etiquette is observed and swimmers of like speed are together. Be respectful of others who are sharing the lane with you.
• Choose the correct lane for your swimming speed. Signs are posted to assist swimmers in choosing an appropriate lane if necessary. Please keep in mind that the appropriate lane will vary depending on the ability of the swimmers each day.
• Be sure to notify other swimmers when you are entering a lane. This is done by sitting at the edge of the pool, waving a kickboard underwater or standing in the corner of the lane.
• Swimmers must share lanes and are expected to swim in a counter-clockwise circle if there are more than 2 swimmers in the lane. If the lane only has 2 swimmers then you can split the lane in half and swim on one side of the lane.
• Lifeguards may help make lane adjustments to accommodate everyone.
• Be courteous and responsive if you are asked to move lanes or change strokes (butterfly for example, may not always be possible if lanes are shared) by the lifeguards.
• The lifeguard on duty will have the final say in the arrangement of lanes.
• When passing, wait and pass at the wall. Gently tap the foot of the swimmer ahead of you indicating you wish to pass. Do not attempt to swim around a slower swimmer as this may collisions with swimmers coming in the opposite direction.
• A lead swimmer, who feels a touch on the feet from an overtaking, should continue to the next wall, then stop in the corner of the lane to let the faster swimmer pass.
• When resting on the wall, please move the outward corners of the lane to allow swimmers room to easily turn at the wall.
