Explore swimming options for kids through the Summer Swim Program. You can visit the YMCA of Cumberland to explore membership or Town-sponsored events and take part in their schedule of pool activities. Then again one of the Town's splash pads might be more like what you're looking for.
Or, maybe you'd like to explore one of our region's many beaches along the Northumberland shore like Northport Beach Provincial Park, Amherst Shore Provincial Park, and more.
