Get ready to see some cannonballs in Regina.
Three of the city’s outdoor pools — Regent, Maple Leaf and Buffalo Meadows — are to open Thursday. The opening date for Massey Pool isn’t known yet; it’s undergoing concrete repairs.
Construction is underway on the new Wascana Pool. It’s expected to open in the summer of 2023.
The existing outdoor pools will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends in June, and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily in July and August.
The pools will feature $4 family swims, young children will have dedicated preschool swim times, and youths can participate in variety of activities, including a Toonie Teen Swim for kids aged 13 to 18.
There also will be drop-in and registered swimming lessons, sessions offered by Aquatic Sport User Groups like synchronized swimming and water polo, Adapted Family Leisure Swim, Lifesaving Sport classes, and Aquacise.
Activities at the Maple Leaf and Buffalo Meadows pools are free. Registration requirements, swim times and classes differ at each pool.
More details can be found in the city’s Spring/Summer Leisure Guide or the What’s in Your Neighbourhood maps. Pool locations and admission fees can be found here.
The city’s spray pads also are open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
