• Pool Rules & Etiquette

  • Public bathing facilities have a long history dating back to around 6th century BC and the ancient Greeks. And in countries all over the world, these public facilities are still an important aspect of community life. In Burnaby, the city’s community centres have a similar function; they’re community gathering places where people can meet and make friends, exercise and unwind before or after a busy day. However, our swimming pools are definitely not bathing facilities. They are places for swimming only, and we respectfully ask patrons not to think of the pool as a place for personal hygiene but as a place to swim.

    Staff at Burnaby’s pools work very hard to maintain a safe and sanitary facility. The pools are cleaned each day, and a state-of-the-art filtration and chemical treatment system ensures that the water and the surrounding deck are clean. We also need your help to maintain a clean, comfortable and sanitary environment. Outside shoes are not allowed on the pool deck; they can track in dirt and germs, which of course contaminate the pool. Please go barefoot or bring sandals to wear when on the pool deck. Health regulations also require that everyone take a cleansing shower using soap before entering the pool or hot tub areas.

    Note: Family change rooms are very busy spaces. These rooms are for people with children and for people with disabilities. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in following these pool regulations
