Aquatics

We are offering modified lane swims and recreational swims at the Mayfield Recreation Complex pool. These swims must be pre-booked online and each patron attending must be registered individually to follow guidelines from public health officials

Lane swims are for youth and adults who wish to use the pool for fitness (such as length swimming, water jogging, etc.). The pool will be divided into 6 lanes. Each individual will swim in their own lane with a maximum one person per lane to ensure social distancing.

Rec swims allow patrons to use the entire pool freely always maintaining social distancing with other participants. A parent/guardian of 16 years+ must accompany any swimmers 15 years and younger to ensure social distancing. Summer 2020 Admission Standards apply.

Yes, we have updated our Pool Admission Standards to assist with new safety measures.

Summer 2020 update

All participants 15 years of age or younger, regardless of swimming ability, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 16 years old, in the water, and responsible for ensuring social distancing with other patrons in the pool.

A parent or guardian may only accompany a maximum of two children that are between the ages of 0 and 5 years old or a maximum of four people if all participants are between 6 and 15 years old, regardless of swimming ability.

Our priority continues to be the health and safety of our participants and staff. These are some of the measures we are implementing with our programs:

• Mask requirement until you are ready to enter the water and immediately after you exit
• Social distancing measures including directional signage
• Pre-booking protocols limiting swim capacities and cash handling for staff
• Increased cleaning of common touch points and equipment
• Limited access to building amenities including closure of change rooms

All swims must be pre-booked online to limit the number of the people in the building and in the pool. No drop-ins or spectators will be allowed.

You can expect to go through mandatory screening to enter the facility and to follow specific entry and exit paths that will help with directional flow.

Change rooms will be closed (washrooms are still available), so please shower and change at home and arrive ready for your swim. You will be asked to bring your belongings on the pool deck and store them in a bin as directed (one bin per family). Washrooms will close for cleaning five minutes before the end of your swim. Once your swim is over, you must take your belongings and exit the building directly from the pool deck. It is important that you do not leave anything in the change rooms as you will not be exiting the way you came in.

Face coverings are required in all public spaces in accordance with Town of Caledon By-law 2020-47. They can be removed just before entering the pool and are to be put back on immediately after exiting the water.

Lockers are not available at this time. You must bring all belongings on the pool deck.

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own equipment and toys and, if possible, your own life jackets. If you are unable to provide your own, we have limited life jackets available for use. No other Town equipment or toys will be available.

The use of snorkels, large inflatables and throwing toys are prohibited at this time. Lifeguards reserve the right to prohibit any items that may present a safety concern.

The building layout of the Mayfield Recreation Complex allows us to provide access to swims while meeting all guidelines from public health officials to ensure the safety of patrons and staff. The pool at Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness will re-open when it is safe to do so, and once safety guidelines are in place.

Swimming lessons will not be offered at this time.
