Looking for different activities to cool off? In addition to the swimming and wading pools, the City of Saint-Lambert offers you two splashpads, one at Dulwich Park and the other at Houde Park. They are open to everyone free of charge according to the following schedule: 

Rules

Everyone must obey the rules to ensure users’ full and safe enjoyment of the services offered.

When you arrive

• Remove your footwear before entering the changing rooms.
• It is prohibited at all times to photograph or film swimmers or the pool.
• You may eat in the grassy areas provided that you put your garbage in the garbage cans.
• Children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times. 

Clothing

• Bathing caps are strongly recommended. Hair longer than the nape of the neck must be tied back.
• Sandals may be worn on the pool deck, but they must not be sandals that are worn outdoors.
• Swim suits are required. The fabric must be designed for pool use. Lycra-style rashguard T-shirts are acceptable.
• It is strictly prohibited to wear undergarments under your swim suit.

Before swimming

• You must take a 30-second shower, making sure you rinse off from head to toe.
• Read the swimming pool rules. They are posted beside the pool.

Swimming lane etiquette

• Swimming lanes are like roads: you have to swim on the right side of the lane.
• You must therefore keep right in your lane and swim close to the lane divider because swimmers pass in the centre of the lane. When you want to pass another swimmer, let the person know by gently tapping him or her twice on the foot so that he or she can slow down a bit and move as far right as possible to prevent a collision.  
• Please choose the right speed lane so that all swimmers feel comfortable.
• If you accidentally collide with another swimmer during one of your swims, take a moment to apologize. This can help prevent unnecessary conflicts.
• Flippers may not be used when four or more swimmers are in the same lane.
• Keep your eye on the swimmers around you to compare your speed to theirs.
• Signs are in place to indicate the lane speeds:

  Slow: For slow swimming and doing full lengths, but with frequent stops at the ends of the lanes.

  Medium: For continuous swimming of more than one length at a time, with occasional stops at the end of a length.

  Fast: For continuous, fast swimming with few or no stops.

If you have any other questions, be sure to ask the pool staff. Enjoy your swim!
