City expanding fall swimming lesson spaces at Leisure Centre 

Aug 10, 2026 | 2:00 PM

The City of Prince Albert says it will offer its largest fall aquatic programming schedule to date, with roughly 1,750 total spaces available for swimming lessons, leadership training and lifeguard certification courses at the Lake Country Co-op Leisure Centre. 

The programs will run from September through December and are aimed at meeting what the city describes as strong community demand for more swimming and water safety instruction. 

“For many years, we’ve heard from parents and residents who wanted to see more swimming lesson opportunities in Prince Albert,” said Riley Janes, the city’s acting aquatics manager. “This expanded schedule is a direct response to that demand.” 

Janes said the additional spaces will help more children, youth and adults build swimming and water safety skills while making aquatic programming more accessible in the community. 

Registration happening in two phases

The first registration period covers September and October programs, with about 845 swimming lesson spaces available. 

Those programs will be available to view online on Aug. 12. Resident registration opens Aug. 19 at 10 a.m., followed by non-resident registration on Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. 

Registration for November and December programming will open in October. The city said offerings may be adjusted after the first registration period to better match demand. 

Residents are encouraged to review the available programs before registration opens. Program details and online registration are available through the city’s swimming page.
