Aquatics
Whether participating in a family swim, aquafit class, or swimming lessons, the pool is a great place for people of all ages and abilities to make friends and stay active. Swim Admission Standards are in place to increase the safety of young swimmers and
to provide an additional level of supervision. Norfolk County pools use a wristband policy and facility swim test to identify young and at-risk swimmers in the pool.
