Please note: Aqua Fitness and Fitness Swimming program schedules will be released in the coming weeks. Follow our social media channels for the latest updates and announcements.

Memberships will be offered later in the year.

As we prepare to open our doors, please note that this summer will be a soft opening as we build toward a full lineup of aquatics programming launching this Autumn. 

Through a funding agreement between Loyalist Township and the City of Kingston, City of Kingston residents receive the same registered program rates and registration access as Loyalist Township residents. This agreement helps support access to aquatic programming for residents of both municipalities.

Registered programs have three fee categories:

• Resident
• Kingston Resident
• Non-Resident. Non-residents pay a fee that is 20% higher than the Resident rate and can register 72 hours after Resident and Kingston Resident registration opens.

City of Kingston residents are able to access registered aquatics programs at the same rates and registration timelines as Loyalist Township residents. For Kingston residents to have this level of access, our staff need to setup a free membership on your accounts.

If you have registered with us at any time since 2018, you do not need to do anything. We have already setup your accounts to have the new membership.

If you are registering for the first time, you must visit the W.J. Henderson Community Centre (322 Amherst Dr., Amherstview) to set up your account. You will be asked to provide proof of residency during setup. Acceptable proof of residency includes:

• A valid Government-issued ID (e.g. driver's license, provincial ID) that lists your address
• Dated within the last 12 months:
  • Property Tax Bill or assessment notice
  • Lease of Rental Agreement
• Dated within the last 90 days:
  • Utility bill (water, electricity, gas, cable, internet, cellphone, telephone, or equivalent)
  • Mortgage statement
  • Rent receipt
  • Insurance policy (home or tenant)
  • Bank or credit card statement

If you do not take these steps first, you will only be able to register as a non-resident.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Barr Homes Aquatic Centre!
