Free and Unlimited Rec Swims for Youth 10 to 13 Years Old

Looking for a fun, active way to keep your preteen busy this summer? The Summer Recreation Swim Pass is here! Youth ages 10 to 13 can enjoy free and unlimited recreational swims at all City of Markham pools from June 26 to September 7, 2026.

This pass gives preteens the freedom to drop in without a guardian, with no swim test required, making it easier than ever to stay active, cool off, and spend time with friends. It’s a great way to build confidence in the water, try something new, and spark interest in future aquatic programs like our Aquatic Leadership Programs.

Getting started is easy:

• Create an account on our registration system
• Visit a community centre pool with your guardian to activate your pass (note: You must bring a report card from a Markham school showing completion of Grades 5, 6, or 7).
• A photo will be taken for the pass

Don’t miss this opportunity to keep kids moving, learning, and having fun all summer long!
