About
A century old, universally accessible heritage house on the Ottawa River with a free, enclosed urban swimming area that has two 25 metre lanes, a floating island and accessible change rooms. Swimming runs in summer (June 5 to September 7 in 2026, supervised on weekends and holidays), and the house is open daily 7 am to 9 pm all year. In winter it is a starting point for the groomed shared winter trail along the river. Swimming and access are free.
