Fit lanes provide an opportunity for participants to swim laps in designated lanes at their own pace, without guidance from an instructor. Participants must be over seven years old, and those under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on deck for the entire duration of the swim. Regardless of age, all participants may be required to pass a swim test to join the program. For a more relaxed pace, consider our leisure swim or recreational swim sessions.

Leisure swim offers a relaxed environment for participants of all ages. Children aged 0-6 must be accompanied by an adult, while those 13 and older can enjoy the water at their own pace. Participants are welcome to bring their little ones, work on swimming skills, water-walk, or simply relax and stretch in the pool. This is a more moderate environment compared to recreational swim. Activities take place in both the shallow and deep ends of the pool. Those wishing to use the deep end must successfully complete a swim test.
