The City of Timmins’ swimming pool facility at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex will be undergoing important maintenance and upgrades this summer to better serve the community. To complete these improvements, the pool will be temporarily closed during the months of July and August.
What’s happening? The City is making essential renovations to enhance user experience, including:
• redesigning and upgrading the front entrance to improve accessibility
• upgrading the lighting to ensure a brighter, more energy-efficient facility
• regrouting the pool for improved cleanliness and safety
While the pool is closed, our swim staff will keep the summer fun going! Swimming lessons will be offered at Gillies Lake Beach. The official opening of the Gillies Lake Beach is Saturday, June 28, 2025. Lifeguards will be on duty 7 days a week from 12:00 - 8:00 p.m. in July and 12:00 - 7:00 p.m. in August.
Special community events and lifesaving courses will also be available throughout the summer. Stay tuned for updates on reopening dates and programming details by visiting: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/recreation_services/swimming
The City appreciates the community’s understanding as we work to improve the community pool. These upgrades will help the City provide a more accessible, enjoyable, and safe environment for all.
