Save your spot in swim lessons, aquatic leadership courses, sports leagues and summer camps
Township of King, Ont. (June 20, 2025) — Seas the day! The sun is shining, the first day of summer is here and so (soon) is the start of summer recreation programming in King Township. Find serenity in an outdoor yoga class, take aim at ultimate frisbee or disc golf, learn a life-saving skill in learn-to-swim lessons or train to be a lifeguard and swim instructor. Summer recreation and aquatic programs start on June 30 and online registration is open.

Cold Creek Conservation Area
Looking for fun in the sun this summer? Explore the outdoors at the scenic Cold Creek Conservation Area. With disc golf and forest bathing on top of seven kilometres of marked trails there’s something for everyone! For program information, including fees and links to registration, visit coldcreek.ca.
Swim lessons
Sunny summer days mean time spent at the beach or the cottage trying to beat the heat. King Township’s summer swim lessons give you the confidence (and newfound lifesaving skills) to wade through the waves with ease. Get ready for fun in (or by) the water: save your spot in a summer swim lesson session, with daily, bi-weekly and weekly options available.
The facility’s Aqua Tech Solutions Aquatic Centre offers learn-to-swim lessons for all ages, based on the Ontario Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program, which features programming for parent & tots, preschoolers, children and adults, as well as private lessons for children ages three and above, or until Swimmer 6.
