Watersmart

Water provides us with many wonderful recreation opportunities but it can also be dangerous. If we want to have fun with water, we need to respect it.

Through our swimming lessons, the City of KItchener helps people learn to swim and know how to behave around water.

This section of our website is to share information from our annual Watersmart campaign so that all residents have the opportunity to improve their knowledge of how to be safe in and near water.
