Swimming Admittance & Supervision Requirements

As a result of the number of drowning in Ontario over the past years resultedin the Office of the Chief coroner issuing new guidelines to assist lifeguards in maintaining adequate surveillance over the whereabouts and the activities of young bathers while they are inside the pool enclose.

To assist us in ensuring your children have a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, Britannia Pool has implemented a wristband procedure. The system allows us to identify children at greater risk and ensure adequate supervision. All children 9 years and under will be given an identifying wrist band by the lifeguard.
