The City of Mississauga has recently made some changes to their adimission guildelines, which apply to ALL their swimming programs. Please be aware of expectations of the pool facility and thier staff:

As of April 1, 2011, the pool requires ALL participants complete the deep end test and a band will be placed on their wrist, including Adults, in all of the swims and rentals. Only those that have a wristband or are in a lifejacket will be permitted to use the deep end, including the slide and diving board. Participants who do not meet the pool's admission guidelines may be asked to not participate.

ADMISSION STANDARD
Children 9 years of age and under MUST be supervised within the pool enclosure, by a guardian who is a minimum of 14 years of age.
Children 5 years of age and under MUST be supervised, in the water and within arms reach, regardless of swimming ability. Maximum of 2 children per guardian.
Children between the ages of 6 and 9 who CANNOT complete the swim test (see below) MUST be directly supervised, in the water and within arms reach. Maximum of 4 children per guardian. This ratio may be increased to 8 children per guardian if all children are wearing approved Personal Flotation Devices.

SWIM TEST
Swim Test: Participants must be able to swim 2 widths of the pool, uninterrupted and without touching the bottom of the pool. Participants cannot stop at any point during the swim test except for the end. Any participant of any age may be asked to perform the swim test before entering the deep end, to use equipment and/or to determine whether or not a guardian is required in the water for supervision.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Individuals with serious medical conditions should be accompanied by a person knowledgeable of the condition and responsible for their direct supervision.
