Introducing Trans Pool Hours! We are pleased to offer dedicated swim time for trans, gender-non-conforming, gender-exploring, nonbinary and two-spirit students and members. Trans-Pool Hours run every Thursday from 5:35 - 6:50 p.m. In a continuous effort to make swim time more inclusive and reduce barriers that may prevent the transgender community from participating in swimming, Trans Pool Hours provide dedicated pool time with privacy measures in place:
- Pool windows and doors will be completely covered
- An enclosed shower space is available immediately outside the pool
- Accessible, private washrooms adjacent to the pool deck are available
- Staff on site to support the dedicated nature of this program
Trans Pool Hours offer opportunities for lane swimming as well as open swim, which provides a chance to have fun and enjoy the water in a more open and unstructured way. Grab one of our cool new floaties and hang out at the Benson pool during these welcoming and dedicated pool hours for transgender community!
Registration is required. All participants are required to sign a waiver and to follow our facility's health and safety protocols while in attendance. If you have any questions, please email the KPE EDIB office.
