The Aquatic Centre contains a 50 metres by 18 metres Olympic size swimming pool. During most activities, a mobile wall divides the pool in two equal sections of 25 meters by 18 meters. The shallow end varies from 1.4 to 1.6 meters in depth and the deep end varies from 2 to 5 meters in depth. There is a diving tower with platforms at 3 and 5 metres. 

You can borrow kick boards, and lifejackets free of charge. 

Sports Services is proud to provide accessible services and facilities to persons with disabilities 

Each bather must take a shower using warm water and soap and thoroughly rinse off all soap before entering the pool area. Regulation 565, s.19 (5) 

Users of our facilities must ensure they are fit to participate in physical activities. Those with a condition affecting their ability to participate must take appropriate safety precautions for their own safety. Any person with a serious medical condition should be accompanied by an adult knowledgeable of their condition and responsible for their direct supervision. 

Patrons using this facility do so at their own risk. The University of Ottawa does not accept responsibility for related risks or injuries.
