Kinsmen Club sponsors free public swimming at outdoor pools for July and August

Medicine Hat – To celebrate the summer, the Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is once again sponsoring free family swimming at Hill Pool and Strathcona Pool for the months of July and August.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with the Kinsmen Club on such a fun summer activity that everyone can enjoy,” said Michele Josey, manager of community connections with the City of Medicine Hat. “We have a long-standing relationship with the Kinsmen Club, who have been offering free family activities, including free family skating, in our community since 1984.”

The free family swim applies to all public swim times during July and August. This does not include lane swimming or swimming lessons. Family swim times for Hill Pool and Strathcona Pool are now available online.  

“The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is once again excited to sponsor FREE Family Swimming in Medicine Hat at all outdoor pools this summer, a tradition coming up on 40 years! says Cameron Kemp, Kin Canada National president and past president of Kinsmen Club Medicine Hat. “The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is proud of our legacy of “Serving our Community’s Greatest Need” in our community, and we believe that providing FREE swimming within Medicine Hat throughout the summer does just that.” 

“We understand the popularity of our outdoor pools, especially on a hot summer day,” Josey added. “With that in mind, we do ask for some patience as availability will be dependent on capacity at each pool. This will help staff ensure the safety of all patrons.”

Please note that all children under eight (8) years of age must be accompanied in the water by a person 16 years of age or older.
