Public Swimming Schedule and Season Passes
Admission Policy
Children under the age of seven will not be admitted to the swimming pool unless they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 14 years old. The parent or guardian must be in the water within arm’s reach of the child. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with two children who are six years of age or under.
Children between the ages of eight and nine must successfully pass our swim test to be able to swim alone. Children in this age range who do not pass the swim test are required to have a parent or guardian in the water within arm’s reach. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with either two children or five children wearing life jackets.
Children 10 years and older are permitted to swim on their own. Swimming with a buddy is strongly recommended.
Swim Test
To pass the facility swim test, you must:
- Swim on your front for two widths of the pool successfully with your face in the water
- Swim with a recognizable stroke
- Maintain a regular, comfortable breathing pattern
- Not stop swimming during the entire distance
- Please note that the facility swim test is applicable at both the Teeswater Culross Swimming Pool and Mildmay Carrick Swimming Pool.
Public Swim
Enjoy an afternoon or evening swim at the Mildmay Carrick or Teeswater Culross Swimming pools! Easily purchase a Swimming Pass or pay per swim.
Parent and Tot Swim
Parent and Tot Swimming is available at the Teeswater-Culross and Mildmay-Carrick Swimming Pools. This swim is for parents/guardians and children under the age of 7. PFD's and children's water toys are available at each facility during this swim.
Be sure to check out the Children's Wading Pool at the Teeswater-Culross Swimming Pool. This pool is a great option for you and your child to become more confident around water as they are able play and explore while still being able to touch the bottom of the pool. Adults must remain within arms reach at all times while at/in either pool.
