Facility Swim Test and rules

To ensure the safety of everyone at the Jasper Aquatic Centre, we have a Facility Swim Test.

What is the Facility Swim Test?  

The test has of three parts that need to be completed: 

  • Enter the pool without help
  • Swim one length of the pool (any stroke or a mix of multiple strokes)
  • Tread water for 30 seconds
  • Jump into deep water

Once a child ages 6+ completes the test, they are added to our list, and they do not need a guardian with them in the water.  

Rules:

  • Children ages 5 and under must have a guardian (age 14+) with them in the water an arm’s length away, even if the child has passed the Facility Swim Test.
  • Children ages 6-7 who have passed the Facility Swim Test can swim on their own, but they must have a guardian (age 14+) in the facility (can be either at the Aquatic Centre, or at the Fitness Centre).
  • Children 8 years of age and older who have passed their Facility Swim Test may visit the Aquatic Centre and swim on their own without a guardian present. 
  • Children of any age who have not passed their Facility Swim Test must have a guardian (age 14+) with them in the water and an arm’s length away.
