Aquatics Programs The City of Kamloops is developing modified programming based on COVID-19 safety protocols. Updates will be available at Kamloops.ca/Swim.

Here’s what you need to know: Chlorinated pool water is an effective disinfectant and the risk of transmission from contact with properly treated pool water is considered minimal.

Pool occupancy and program occupancy are limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Please be prepared that you may have to wait in line or programs may reach maximum capacity.

Goggles are required for lap swimming. Please bring your own equipment to the pool whenever possible (flutter boards, pull bouys, dumbbells, float belts, etc).

Patrons are encouraged to shower before and after using the pool. Change rooms are open but please feel free to shower at home.

The Aquatics team looks forward to welcoming everyone back!

Canada Games Aquatic Centre

FULL FACILITY CLOSURE UNTIL JANUARY 2, 2021 Brock Pool and Westsyde Pool The City will continue to follow the direction of public health authorities regarding COVID-19 protocols as it evolves.

For up to date schedules and programming at other City facilities, please visit Kamloops.ca/Swim.

The Canada Games Aquatic Centre has begun its transformation. With the unexpected closure of the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC) due to COVID-19, the City was able to get an early start on site setup and selective demolition. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, with the pool ready to reopen on January 2, 2021.
