It only seems like it just started, but the City of Ottawa’s wading pool and supervised beach swimming seasons are quickly winding down this week. And it’s also difficult to comprehend as hundreds of visitors from over 40 canoe clubs across the country grace the shores of Mooney’s Bay for the Canadian Sprint Canoe Kayak Championships this weekend.
But here is the City of Ottawa’s list of upcoming seasonal pool closures along with notifications for the cessation of lifeguard supervision at City beaches.M
Supervised swimming at beaches
Lifeguard supervision and daily water testing at City beaches – Mooney’s Bay, Britannia, Petrie Island and Westboro, end for this season on Sunday, August 29. Until August 29, the daily hours for supervised beach swimming will be noon to 7 p.m. Check ottawa.ca for the updates on water quality testing and closures.
Deep Water Outdoor Pools
The City’s nine deep water outdoor pools will be closing between August 22 and September 6 depending on location. Check ottawa.ca for outdoor pool schedules and information.
City wading pools
The City’s wading pools will also close for 2021 season on Tuesday, August 24.
