Admission and Wristband Policy

Staff at the Wilmot Aquatic Centre are trained in aquatic emergencies. They are required to supervise all patrons in the pool and cannot act in a childcare capacity. 

Within the Admission Policy:

  • "Caregiver" is defined as a responsible parent or guardian 13 years of age or older who is responsible for the direct supervision of children 10 years of age and younger, and within arms reach. Caregivers of children 10 years and younger who have passed the swim test will be required to remain in the facility.
  • "Direct Supervision" is defined as being in the water, within arms reach and able to render immediate assistance.

In conjunction with our Admission Policy, we will be issuing wrist bands to young swimmers.

  • Must be accompanied by a caregiver (13 and older) at all times. Caregivers must be in the water and remain within arms distance at all times.  
  • Ratio of 1 caregiver to 2 swimmers
  • If any child within a group of swimmers is under 7 years of age, the ratio for the caregiver will always be 1:2.
  • Children wearing personal flotation devices (puddle jumpers, lifejackets etc.) must be supervised at all times.

  • Caregiver ratio of 1:3 without lifejackets.
  • Caregiver ratio of 1:6 with all swimmers in a MTO approved lifejacket. If a swimmer removes their lifejacket the ratio then become 1:3.
  • Swimmers who are issued a yellow wrist band may perform a swim test to see if they can swim unaccompanied.
  • If the child passes the swim test, they can have their wrist band removed and a swim test card can be created for future visits.
  • If they do not pass the swim test, they will be issued a blue wristband and will be required to swim within arm's reach of a caregiver. 

May be admitted into the pool without direct in-water supervision provided they can demonstrate the ability to pass the swim test.

  • Swimmers who choose not to perform the swim test or have not passed the swim test will be issued a blue wrist band.
  • Caregiver ratio of 1:3 without lifejackets.
  • Caregiver ratio of 1:6 with all swimmers in a MTO approved lifejacket. If a swimmer removes their lifejacket the ratio then become 1:3.

Swim Test

To meet common industry standards and best practices, the Wilmot Aquatic Centre uses the following criteria for swimmers 7 - 10 years of age who would like to swim unaccompanied by a caregiver.

In order to pass the swim test, each participant must be able to complete the following items comfortably without stopping or putting their feet on the bottom:

  • Swim 20m on front with the ability to put their face in the water at least once
  • Tread water for 15 seconds
  • Swim 20m once more on their front or back

Caregivers must remain in the aquatic facility until the swim test is completed successfully. If the child is unable to complete the swim test, the caregiver will be required to participate with the child. Swimmer ratios will be enforced.

Caregivers of successful swimmers are to remain in the facility during the swimmers participation in the swim.

Lifejackets

  • The facility has a limited supply of lifejackets. Swimmers may need to supply their own lifejacket.
  • Lifejackets may not be available for all programs.
  • Lifejackets must be Ministry of Transportation (MTO) approved and the appropriate size for the swimmer. 
  • All straps and buckles must be secured.
  • Water wings, puddle jumpers or other floatation devices are not accepted as lifejackets.
  • If insufficient lifejackets are available, the ratio of 1:3 swimmers for the 7 - 10 year old swimmers will apply.

Medical Disorders

Persons who have known serious medical disorders such as seizure disorders are at greater risk while swimming. Those individuals should be accompanied and supervised by another individual knowledgeable on their condition.

PAL Card

With a PAL card, people with disabilities can bring a helper, often a friend or family member, to assist them in taking part in Township of Wilmot programs. In most cases, there is no extra cost as the helper is there to make sure you can participate and enjoy the activity and not there to participate themselves.

We accept the PAL card for Township of Wilmot run programs, including:

To use your PAL card, present the card when paying your program fees.

You cannot use the PAL card for ticketed events at our facilities run by third party organizations, businesses, or promoters.

Complete and submit a Pal Card Application Form to the Aquatics Supervisor.

  • Anyone who is older than four years old and has a disability that restricts them from performing activities, which has lasted longer than six months and cannot be eliminated by the use of a technical aide, such as eyeglasses, is eligible for a PAL card.
  • Temporary PAL cards are available for those with temporary disabilities.
  • Attendants must be 15 years of age or older. Different attendants can help the program participant on different days.
  • If an attendant would be taking part in an activity with a PAL cardholder, regardless of his or her disability, the attendant would be expected to pay the program fee. For example, if a child, who has a PAL card, does not meet our age requirement to swim alone during a recreational swim at the pool, an adult would have to supervise the child and pay the swim fee.
