Every child in Vancouver should have the opportunity to learn how to swim.
Today, Council unanimously approved Mayor
@kensimcity's motion to begin work towards making introductory swimming lessons free for Vancouver residents, with priority access for children ages 3 to 12.
ABC is proud to be making swimming in Vancouver more accessible, safe, and affordable.
That's why this motion will start the work to expand our city's pool capacity, instructor recruitment, and community partnerships. This motion also calls on Park Board to remove COVID-era restrictions that have limited public access to pools across Vancouver for far too long.
