Outdoor pools open with free summer rec swims

Summer is heating up, with Chatham-Kent’s outdoor pools set to open this Sunday.

Thanks to sponsors, CKRecreation is offering free rec swims all summer long at all seven outdoor and two indoor municipal pools.

That move is part of the Summer Fest Series, which aims to provide fun and engaging activities for residents and visitors of all ages.

“Our team is excited to be able to provide free rec swims to our community,” Amy Wadsworth, manager of recreation services and community engagement, said.

“Swimming is a great way to stay active and cool during the summer months and we want to make sure that everyone has access to this fun and healthy activity.”

Besides recreational swimming, select group lessons are still available for the summer. View the complete program guide at chatham-kent.ca/recreation. Registration can be completed online, by calling 311 or by visiting any municipal centre.

Pool schedules are available at chatham-kent.ca/recreationswimming.
