Anyone under the age of 18 visiting a City of Kitchener pool must be accompanied by an adult.

• 0-6 years: must be within 1 arm's reach of someone 12 years or older at all times, including if swim test has been passed (2:1 ratio)
• 7-9 years: may swim alone if they pass the swim test, if not they must be within 1 arm's reach of someone 12 years or older at all times (3:1 ratio)
• 10+ years: may swim alone
• 12+ years: may supervise other swimmers (see ratios above)
• deep end swimmers: All swimmers must pass the swim test to enter the deep end. Swimmers of any age may be asked to complete the swim test at the discretion of the lifeguards.

To pass the swim test, swimmers must be able to comfortably perform a recognizable stroke on their front for a minimum of 15 meters with the ability to put their face in the water and take at least one (1) breath without putting their feet on the bottom of the pool.

Children ages 7-9 who successfully complete the test, or have completed Level H, will receive a Swim Test Card. Swim test cards must be presented prior to admission to a recreational swim.

Forgot your Swim Test Card? You will be required to complete another swim test.

Public pools enforce a strict dress code to preserve the cleanliness of the pool water and keep attire family-friendly.

In order to accommodate all visitors and maintain safe programs, traditional swim wear is preferred where possible; however, the following criteria will be used by City staff when determining the appropriateness of attire for swimming:

• Clothing is clean and brought to the pool for the sole purpose of swimming (one cannot wear their street clothes into the pool)
• Proper swimwear material is defined as any material that’s specifically designed for the purposes of swimming. This includes spandex, polyester, nylon, and any similar material that’s non-absorbent. T-shirts with long sleeves and tights made of these materials may be worn into the pool if they are used specifically for swimming. These suits can be purchased at local bathing suit stores, sport stores or department stores
• Undergarments may look similar to swimwear, but they do not serve the same function.
• Thongs and transparent clothing are not permitted. Guests must wear swimwear that cover their private parts. Swimmers of all genders are required to wear an appropriate swimsuit bottom. 
• The clothing must permit the individual to participate safely in the program. Every effort must be made to eliminate the risk of strangulation or being weighed down to the point of incapacitation.
• Swimmers who are incontinent must wear snug fitting pants over a cotton diaper or suitable disposable swim pants or re-useable pool diaper. (example: Huggies Little Swimmers, Gabby's Pool Pant Diaper) Regular diapers are not permitted. Disposable swim diapers can be purchased at the front desk.
• Aquatic staff will be accommodating to all patrons.
