The Crofton Outdoor Pool is open and ready to welcome the community for the 2025 summer season! Having officially opened last week, the pool will operate through August 29, offering a refreshing and fun-filled destination for families, youth, and swimmers of all ages.

Throughout July and August, the pool will host a variety of weekday evening swimming lessons, aquafit classes, private rentals, and themed swim events - making it a vibrant hub for recreation and connection all summer long.

🕒 Hours of Operation:
- Monday to Thursday: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
- Friday: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Saturday & Sunday: 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm
- Swimming Lessons: Monday to Thursday, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

In preparation for the season, North Cowichan staff dedicated significant time and effort to readying the facility. This included a deep cleaning of the pool basin and minor upgrades to the pool building. Lifeguards also completed a full week of on-site in-service training to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

Earlier this spring, North Cowichan’s management team partnered with an engineering firm to assess and confirm that the pool’s flow rates meet Island Health safety standards. Following a detailed recalculation of the pool’s water volume and a comprehensive review of the mechanical system, it was determined that installing a pump bypass would enable the facility to meet the required flow rates for proper and sanitary water turnover.

Looking ahead, once the 2025 season concludes, municipal staff will begin working with engineers to evaluate and upgrade the underground circulation piping system. This proactive approach will help ensure the pool remains in excellent condition and ready to serve the community for the 2026 summer season and beyond.
