Community Pool

The Oliver Community Pool – your summer destination! Dive into our outdoor pool for a refreshing swim or unwind in our relaxing hot tub. The Pool includes a 'Beach Entry' style shallow end you can walk right in to.

Private and group swim lessons are available for those looking to enhance their aquatic skills, while various fitness programs keep everyone active throughout the summer. The Oliver Community Pool offers five lanes for continuous swimming, early bird swim sessions, and adult leisure swim opportunities. Dive into family fun during our family swim sessions, featuring float mats, a diving board, and a basketball hoop for added excitement.

LIGHTNING POLICY
Because of the unpredictable nature of lightning and its often disastrous consequences, the Oliver Community Pool will always adhere to the following safety guidelines as set out by the NATIONAL LIGHTNING SAFETY INSTITUTE.
1. When thunder is heard 30 seconds or less after a flash of lightning is observed, the pool will be cleared. Staff strongly recommends that all patrons remain inside the pool building until the storm subsides.
2. Pool activities shall remain suspended until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard. There will be no exceptions. It should be noted that storms are erratic and even though it may appear “safe” to resume activity, it is not.
3. Swim lessons are also subject to cancellation due to lightning. There will be no reimbursement or rescheduling of the classes that are canceled due to weather.

Swim Lessons

The Canadian Red Cross has ended its swim and lifeguarding programming to focus on surging humanitarian demands in other areas. In 2023 the Oliver Pool made the transition to Swim For Life programs of the Lifesaving Society of Canada. For more information about the transition from Red Cross to Swim for Life please visit www.lifesaving.bc.ca/swim-transition
