Public Swimming Schedule and Season Passes
Children under the age of seven will not be admitted to the swimming pool unless they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 14 years old. The parent or guardian must be in the water within arm’s reach of the child. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with two children who are six years of age or under.
Children between the ages of eight and nine must successfully pass our swim test to be able to swim alone. Children in this age range who do not pass the swim test are required to have a parent or guardian in the water within arm’s reach. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with either two children or five children wearing life jackets.
Children 10 years and older are permitted to swim on their own. Swimming with a buddy is strongly recommended.
Swim Test
To pass the facility swim test, you must:
- Swim on your front for two widths of the pool successfully with your face in the water
- Swim with a recognizable stroke
- Maintain a regular, comfortable breathing pattern
- Not stop swimming during the entire distance
- Please note that the facility swim test is applicable at both the Teeswater Culross Swimming Pool and Mildmay Carrick Swimming Pool.

Parent and Tot Swim

Be sure to check out the Children's Wading Pool at the Teeswater-Culross Swimming Pool. This pool is a great option for you and your child to become more confident around water as they are able play and explore while still being able to touch the bottom of the pool. Adults must remain within arms reach at all times while at/in either pool.
