The activities planned at the Ponoka Aquaplex (5315 46 Avenue) include:
- A Free Swim and Outdoor Community Barbecue – On Thursday, July 18, the free swim will run from 1 to 4 p.m. along with games and activities in and out of the pool. The barbecue will run from 3 to 5 p.m. and will move indoors at the Aquaplex if it rains.
- A daily ‘Swim to Survive’ skills challenge – From 1 to 4 p.m. each day from Monday to Friday. Participants who complete the challenge will receive a Canadian Swim to Survive Certificate.
- A daily Pool Scavenger Hunt during public swim – Participants can find items around the pool and be entered in a draw to win a prize.
