Drop-In Activities
Lap Swim
Lap swimming takes place in the lap pool and lanes will be divided by lane lines. Pool equipment (kickboards, flippers and buoy pull) is available to use during lap swim. Circle swimming may be required when there are more than two swimmers. Lanes are divided into slow, medium and fast.
Family Time
This time is intended for families and special needs patrons who may get overstimulated during open swims to come and splash in the water. Parents/guardians/caregivers must accompany their child/special needs patron in the water. The splash toys, slide, rope swing, and diving board are not available during this time.

Independent workouts can take place in the lazy river, leisure or lap pools. Aqua exercise equipment is available for use.
