Swimming & Pools
Make a splash, get fit and have fun!
Aquatics is one of Canada's favourite ways to spend leisure time! Our programs offer the opportunity to learn how to swim, be safe around water and perform life-saving rescues. Swimming is also a great way to maintain lifelong fitness and wellness - it is often ranked as the best form of exercise for all the benefits it provides from aerobic to resistant training. Toronto operates 230 supervised swimming facilities, so come visit us in your neighbourhood and cool off!
