Pro-D Day Revised Public Schedules
A modified schedule will be in place for all SD73 Pro-D Days. Please note you must register in advance for these swims. Registration will be available one week prior of the scheduled Pro-D Day.
The Lifesaving Society Canada has recommended to change the age limit for 3 m and higher diving boards. On November 1, 2022, we will adopt the recommendations and change the age limit for City of Kamloops 3 m and 5 m diving boards to individuals 12 years of age and older. This change will affect all recreational use during public swim times. The 1 m diving boards will still be available for children under the age of 12.
There will be no changes to diving activity which is booked through a facility permit and is under the direct supervision of a qualified or certified diving instructor or coach.
Aquafit Update
Due to staff and instructor shortages, Aquafit at the Canada Games Pool has been suspended until further notice. Three lanes will be available for water running during the previously scheduled Aquafit times.
