Marlin Swim Academy is Growing
...and we're laying down roots!
After many years of dreaming, hard work, and perseverance, we can't wait to welcome you to our new, permanent home in Smithville, Ontario!
We are so proud of how far Marlin Swim Academy has come, and even more excited for what lies ahead. We hope this new home allows us to bring many more years of joy, confidence, and connection to our community — and we can't wait to watch our family grow and flourish alongside the families who have helped make this all possible and who make our community so special.
Welcome!

SUPERVISION CRITERIA, POOL RULES AND PRICING
Supervision Criteria for Parents
These requirements are applicable to ALL drop-in swims.
Children 5 years of age and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 14 years of age or older. Supervision ratio maximum is 2:1. Children must remain within arms’ reach of their guardian at all times and pass the facility swim test to enter the deep end with their guardian.
Children 6-9 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 14 years of age or older. Supervision ratio maximum is 4:1. Children who do not pass the facility swim test are required to stay within arms’ reach of their guardian at all times and are not permitted in the deep end.
Children 10 years of age and older may swim unaccompanied but must remain in the shallow end if they are unable to complete the facility swim test.
General Pool Rules
1. Diapers - swim diapers are mandatory for those not reliably toilet trained. A pool fouling could result in a pool closure of up to 24 hours. Please encourage your swimmers to use the washroom prior to entering the pool. Regular diapers are not permitted due to the absorptive material seeping out, which may harm our filtration system.
2. Showers - all swimmers must take a shower using warm water and soap prior to entering and re-entering the pool deck. Not only is this a public health regulation, but it ensures that we may continue to provide the highest quality water and air control without our systems becoming overloaded with lotions and perfumes. Thank you for your consideration of our staff and their health.
3. All non-swimmers must remain in the shallow end at all times.
Rules are subject to change in order to keep our staff and swimmers safe. Please follow the lifeguards' instructions at all times.
Pricing
Children under 2 swim free.
Pool space is limited. Please Consider booking in advance to guarantee a space during peak times.
