In addition to recreational swimming, we are excited to be able to offer some programming! In order to respect the guidelines for the number of participants allowed in the pool at once, registration is required for the following programs:
***Please note that for WHITE, YELLOW, GREEN and RED swimming levels, a parent must be in the water with their child for the lesson.
A description of the skills required per swimming level are available on our website. Please note that the Pool Manager reserves the right to move a child to a different swimming level if necessary.
You will be asked to sign-up for these programs when registering online, or you may check off your preferences on the print-out form. In order to have ample time to create appropriate group sizes for these programs and respect pool capacity restrictions, the registration deadline for programs is Wednesday June 9th. After this time, registration for all programs will be closed, and members who registered for programs will be emailed their lesson and/or team schedules. There will be no drop-ins allowed for lessons, teams, Aquafitness or Masters swimming programs.Please note that there is no time limit to join the pool as a recreational member.
Lastly, the wading pool and the canteen will remain closed this summer. Washrooms will be available upon request, and members must bring their own folding chairs again this year.
Looking forward to seeing you at the pool!
Hello Lakeshore!
We are excited to announce that the pool will open June 12th!
We are working hard on creating a schedule that offers free swim as well as some limited programs, all while following government guidelines to ensure the safety of our members. More information and registration details will be sent out next week.
Looking forward to seeing you all poolside soon!
We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Section Finals such a success. We were up against a lot of rainy weather- but this did not deter smiles, team spirit and great effort to create a fun and memorable day- not to mention a winning meet for Lakeshore! We’ll be sure to send out the final scores once we get our hands on them! The meet could not have run as smoothly without everyone’s help, so again- Thank you! A BIG congratulations to all swimmers who competed at Section Finals! Best wishes to those heading to Finals next Saturday at Cedar Park Heights Pool- ask your coaches for more details!
Lakeshore Section Finals Organizers
On Saturday August 13, Lakeshore Pool will be hosting the Section Finals for A pools -all the pools we’ve swam against this summer. This will be a huge event for Lakeshore- similar to the Finals we hosted last summer. It’s a very rare occurrence for our pool to be hosting such significant events two years in a row. As we know from last year, it takes MANY people to make this event a great success. We are reaching out to the Lakeshore community once again to ask for your help!
If you would like to be a part of a day that promises to have lots of energy, excitement and fun- this is your chance!!!
Most of the volunteering will centre around food on the day of the event- set up, preparation and selling of food! Beyond this, there will be a need for setup on Friday evening, clean up on Saturday afternoon, helping with parking, raffle organization and a few other posts with details coming soon. Please note that Lakeshore will not be responsible for providing officials. All officials will be supplied by ALPS -Association of Lakeshore Pools.
If you can spare the morning or even a few hours, it would be greatly appreciated. If you are a parent of a swimmer or swimmers in the Section Finals, we would be so happy to have your help in advance or even between your children’s races on the day of the event. Please send me an email and let me know if you’re able to help and when. The times will likely range from 5pm to 9pm on Friday evening and 6am to 3pm on Saturday.
If you would like to contribute to the day but can not be there, we would greatly appreciate a donation of baked goods or a contribution for the raffle.
We’re also looking for a few people to help with advanced preparation:
We will send out more details in the upcoming days- please send me an email- scookson@videotron.ca if you have any questions about volunteering for this exciting event!
Thank you,
Sue Cookson
