Ponoka Aquaplex reopens Monday with restrictions

Half-hour private and semi-private lessons are also available.

Please Book in Advance

All lane swims, family swims and facility rentals must be booked in advance by phoning 403-783-0131. Aquaplex memberships will be reactivated and can be used to pay for lane swims and family swims. Only family members from the same household can book a family swim together, and only two families are able to book family swims at the same time to maintain three-metre distancing requirements.

The hot tub, wading pool, rope and diving board will be available for use, however they can only be used by one family or individual at a time under the direction of the lifeguard on duty. To view the Aquaplex pool schedule and rates, please visit town website.

Private facility rentals are still reduced in price from $110 per hour to $46 to encourage more families to use the Aquaplex. Only guests living in the same household are permitted to share a private booking.
