Since we are strictly an 18+ facility, no children under the age of 18 are allowed in the facilities for our regular drop-in swims. However, we do have a “Fun Swim” available at scheduled times for all ages. Children are only permitted in the pool and pool area with a parent or guardian during the times scheduled as Fun Swims. 

A parent or guardian who can swim must accompany children to the pool and be within the pool area to supervise the child. Parents/guardians are responsible for the children in their care while in the facility and must supervise them at all times.

Fun swims are offered most Sundays from 12:10-2:55pm. For a full schedule, including cancellations and adjustments, as well as more information, please see https://kpe.utoronto.ca/sport-recreationaquatics/drop-fun-swim.

Please note that a Family Day Pass is required for all families wishing to participate in the Fun Swim. One Family Day Pass is valid for up to 2 adults and 4 children. Family Day Passes are also valid for the drop-in family skate program (winter semester only).
