Delta’s indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities are great places to learn water safety, how to swim, get and stay in shape, have some fun, volunteer and work at. Delta pools are staffed by creative and fun-loving lifeguards who ensure everyone has a great time while staying active and safe in the water.
Swirl Pool Age Guidelines All children under 13 years of age may use the swirl pools when accompanied by an adult age 16 years or older.
Special Features Diving boards, rope drop, mat walk, inflatables, climbing wall (dependent on facility) are open during peak times, programs and other activities permitting.
Pool Etiquette and Guidelines • Children under the age of 7 must be within arm’s reach of an adult age 16 years or older at all times: 1 adult to a maximum of 3 children under the age of 7. • Outside shoes are not allowed on the pool deck; they can track in dirt and germs, which contaminate the pool. Please go barefoot or bring in non-slip footwear when on the pool deck. • Always remember to walk on the deck. • Health regulations require that everyone take a cleansing shower using soap before entering the pool or swirl pool areas. • Our family change rooms are very busy spaces. These rooms are for people with children of the opposite gender and their caregiver, and for people with disabilities. Please ensure that you remove your belongings from these spaces when not in use. • Diving is permitted only in the deep end of the main/sunshine pools.
• Should an injury occur when at the pool, report it to the Lifeguard staff right away. • In an emergency, follow the directions of the Lifeguard staff. • For health and safety, please do not go into the pool if you have an illness, head cold, open sores, bandages, or an infection from the ears and eyes. • Our sauna rooms, steam rooms and swirl pools are all designated quiet zones. Please talk quietly. With a little courtesy, lap swimming can work for everyone. Please: • Always swim to the right of the lane and pass on the left. • Be aware of what is going on in your lane. • Move graciously to a different lane if asked by a Lifeguard to do so. • Allow a faster swimmer to pass you. • Move to another lane that is more appropriate for your swimming speed if you are constantly being passed by other swimmers.
Buckles’ Water Safety Tip: With warmer weather approaching, we know you’ll be heading out to enjoy some open water locations. Remember that after chilly winter, dykes, creeks, rivers, ponds, slough, lakes and ocean water take time to warm up to comfortable temperatures so use caution and ensure you are prepared. Get ready for sunny days outside and learn how to recreate safely in, on and around water in any of our Red Cross Swimming Programs. • Attend our Delta Water Safety Event on June 6 at Scottsdale Mall 12-3pm • Check weather and water reports before choosing your recreation spot • Contact an Aquatic Programmer to see what programs may meet your needs. Please visit Delta.ca for up-to-date facility schedules. Please note that on Statutory Holidays aquatic facilities maintain regular hours of operation and regular admission rates apply.
