In preparation for the summer heat, the Kinsmen Club of Medicine Hat is pleased to be supporting free public swimming at Hill Pool and Strathcona Pool.

This sponsorship will apply to all public swim times throughout May, June, July and August, but does not include lane swimming or swimming lessons.

We are excited to continue our partnership with the Kinsmen Club for another summer filled with enjoyable activities for all,” says Michael Ractliffe, superintendent of recreation, City of Medicine Hat. “Our collaboration with the Kinsmen Club dates back to 1984 who consistently bring a variety of free family-oriented events to our community.”

This tradition spans back nearly 40 years, said Steve Pudwell, Kin Canada National president and past president of Kinsmen Club Medicine Hat.

“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.”

“We understand the popularity of our outdoor pools, especially on a hot summer day,” Ractliffe said, reminding residents that availability will be dependent on capacity at each pool, and asked for patience and understanding, as this will help staff ensure the safety of all patrons.
