Outdoor Pool

The PSP Recreation pool located at 425 Breadner Blvd, is a one-level facility open to all. Accessible male and female changerooms, bathrooms and showers are available to everyone who attends any of the scheduled leisure, lane, family swim or swim lessons. The pool is equipped with one diving board and two ladders; one in the deep end and one in the shallow end. For swimmers convenience, life jackets are available on site free of charge for bathers of all ages.

For the safety of our patrons and lifeguards, the PSP pool can accept no more than 110 participants at any given time. This includes patrons sitting on the pool deck, swimming in the pool and in the changerooms.

Summer is right around the corner and that means the PSP Outdoor Pool will be opening soon! Lane swims, open swims and swimming lessons will be back on the schedule for the 2025 season. Registration for swimming lessons will open April 2025.
