Families in Pembroke and the surrounding area can sign up for fall swimming lessons at the Kinsmen Pool starting August 31 at 9 a.m. Registration will be available online and in person at the pool, located at 424 Herbert Street.
The fall session begins the week of September 8 and includes programs for all ages, from Parent and Tot classes for infants as young as four months to Preschool, Swimmer, and Bronze-level courses for older children and teens. Private lessons are also available by request for those wanting more personalized instruction.
The pool uses the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program, which develops swimming and water safety skills for every stage, from beginners to lifeguard certification. Parents are encouraged to create an online account and confirm each swimmer’s age in the system before registration day to avoid delays.
The Kinsmen Pool reopened in January 2025 after a $1.4 million repair project that closed the facility for about a year. The pool serves residents of Pembroke, Laurentian Valley, Petawawa, Whitewater Region, Shawville, and beyond.
