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 and hot tub facilities will be available for use.
You are now required to book a spot for lane swims and public swims. You can book up to 7 days in advance.
What to Expect |
Staff will be monitoring the water every hour, and sanitizing all touchpoints and surfaces several times a day. The City ask residents who become ill to stay home and look after themselves and encourage those you know are sick to do the same. The complete swim schedule is available here. New COVID-19 safety regulations ask patrons to preregister for a swim event. This can be done at yellowknife.legendonlineservices.ca. |
How to Browse Tickets (to book a spot) |
You are not required to login to book a spot. We suggest skipping this step to expedite the process. If you know your member number (found on your card) enter it here. If you don't, use the "total non-members" option. This is where you select how many spots you are reserving. *You will be required to select the "view and accept attendance rules" before proceeding. This is blank, which is normal. Please note, you are not paying here - you are booking your spot. Upon arrival at pool you will pay and use your membership profile.
