“Occupancy limits will be in place for the pool, deck, viewing, and change rooms, along with one-way traffic measures for the lobby, pool deck, and change rooms. There will be minimal use of the change rooms; guests are required to come dressed for their activities and arrive no more than five minutes before their scheduled times,” the release states.

“The climbing wall, Tarzan rope, pool toys, and inflatables will not be available; patrons may bring their own pool toys, provided they are clean and can be disinfected. The hot tub will remain closed until Stage 3 of the Provincial relaunch plan.”

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the City says all of these plans are subject to change. More information is at www.lacombe.ca/pool.
