POOL OPENING UPDATE 🏊‍♀️

A little update on our opening date!

Unfortunately, the delivery of our new stairs has been delayed again, so we will now be opening on Monday, September 28th instead of September 21st! (Birthday parties are still a go for Sep 26th and 27th)

We know everyone is excited to get back in the pool, and trust us, we are too! We’re disappointed to have to push things back another week, but we’re getting so close and can’t wait to have everyone back!

Some good news though! We’ve made a little addition to our fall schedule and added two extra Lane/Stroke Improvement Swims:

• Mondays: 10:30–11:30 AM
• Wednesdays: 10:30–11:30 AM

These will be great for anyone looking for some extra lane time or wanting to work on their strokes!

Also, a little Aquafit update! We’ve moved our Tuesday and Thursday classes to 10:30–11:30am, hoping this time works a little better for more of our Aquafit crew!

Thank you everyone for being so patient with us while we get everything ready! 💙

See you September 28th!

NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY POOL BOTTLE DRIVE! ♻️

We’re doing a bottle drive to help raise funds for the Northside Community Pool!

From September 10th to October 31st, bottles can be dropped off at North Sydney Recycling Ltd., 665 Memorial Drive, North Sydney!

All money raised will go toward current and future accessible and functional equipment for the pool, helping us continue to improve our facility, keep our equipment up to standard, and make the pool as accessible as possible for the people in our community!

When dropping off your bottles, please let the depot know you would like your donation to go toward the Northside Community Pool Commission!

Every little bit helps, and we really appreciate all the support our community continues to give us! 💙

☀️ That's a wrap on another pool season! ☀️

As of today, the Northside Community Pool is officially closed for our summer maintenance period.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who made this year such a great one. To our swimmers, families, Aquafit ladies, renters, volunteers, sponsors, board members, and staff, thank you for your support, patience, and for choosing to spend your time with us. We truly had one of the best years the pool has ever had, and that wouldn't have been possible without all of you.

A special thank you to our amazing staff. Your hard work, dedication, and care for our swimmers and community never go unnoticed. I am incredibly lucky to work with such a great group of people.

I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and relaxing summer. Enjoy the sunshine, make lots of memories, and we'll be excited to welcome you back in September!

See you in the fall! 💙🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️☀️
