The Town of Oakville is reminding residents to be safe around swimming pools, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water. Enjoy water safely by learning how to swim, swimming with a friend, wearing a lifejacket, ensuring children are supervised around water and being responsible by not engaging in risky behaviour.
Visit the town’s YouTube page to watch a water safety message from the Fire Chief.
The town offers a number of programs to support safe swimming, including learn to swim opportunities. Register in a program today. Residents can also borrow a life jacket through the Oakville Public Library at the Glen Abbey and Iroquois Ridge locations.
On hot and sunny days during the summer, keep cool and enjoy the water safely by visiting one of our outdoor pools or a Halton beach.
