About Lavington Pool
The City of Vernon outdoor pool in Lavington: a shallow, lifeguarded public pool, free to swim, with lessons and parties in season.
Lavington Pool is a City of Vernon outdoor swimming facility set on Lavington Way, on the Coldstream side of a boundary that city recreation services reach across. It is a shallow, wading-depth pool with lifeguards on duty and free public admission, which makes it the neighbourhood swim rather than the place to put in lengths. For families in Lavington and on the acreages around it, that combination is the whole point: no admission to budget for, water a small child can stand up in, and a short drive instead of a run into town.
Alongside open swim it runs learn-to-swim lessons and hosts poolside birthday parties through the summer. Lessons at a free neighbourhood pool tend to fill as soon as registration opens, so the calendar rewards watching rather than checking on the day. Coldstream sits close enough to Kalamalka Lake that Kal Beach is the default summer water for most households here, and a supervised shallow pool fills the gap the lake leaves for the youngest swimmers and for anyone who wants a lifeguard within arm's reach.
All of it depends on the weather. An outdoor pool in this valley keeps a short season and a short day, and a cold or wet stretch can pull the hours back with little warning, so a promising forecast is not the same thing as an open gate. The City of Vernon publishes current open dates and lesson registration on its recreation pages at vernon.ca, and that is the place to look before the towels go into the car. Worth knowing too that the season here is genuinely a summer one, so anything planned for late spring or early autumn deserves confirming first.
