Greater Vernon Recreation Services is excited to announce the return of Toonie swims at the Vernon Aquatic Centre, offering a low-cost opportunity for residents to get out and get active throughout the winter season.
These popular public swim times will begin during the holiday break with the following schedule:
- Saturday, December 24 @ 2 – 4 p.m.
- Saturday, December 31 @ 2 – 4 p.m.
- Saturday, January 7 @ 5 – 7 p.m.
Toonie swims will then continue on weekends throughout winter. Each Saturday and Sunday, between 5 - 7 p.m., public swimming will cost just $2 per person.
“Swimming and playing in the water are good for both your mental and physical health,” said Gary Lefebvre, Manager, Aquatics. “We want to ensure the Vernon Aquatic Centre is accessible to everyone and the toonie swim helps remove financial barriers to participation.”
