MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is celebrating summertime by sponsoring free family swimming at the Hill Pool and Strathcona Pool for July and August.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with the Kinsmen Club on such a fun summer activity that everyone can enjoy. We have a long-standing relationship with the Kinsmen Club, who have been offering free family activities, including free family skating, in our community since 1984,” said Michele Josey, manager of community connections with the City of Medicine Hat.

The free family swim applies to all public swim times in July and August but does not include lane swimming or swimming lessons.

“The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is once again excited to sponsor free Family Swimming in Medicine Hat at all outdoor pools this summer, a tradition coming up on 40 years. The Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is proud of our legacy of ‘Serving our Community’s Greatest Need’ in our community, and we believe that providing free swimming within Medicine Hat throughout the summer does just that,” says Cameron Kemp who was the former president of Medicine Hat’s Kinsmen Club.

Josey asks that the public be patient with availability of pool time due to capacity limits as staff will try to work to ensure the safety of everyone.

A schedule of outdoor pool times is available on the City of Medicine Hat’s website.
