​We have a few rules which must be followed in order to ensure the safety of our members, and to maintain the quality of our facility. Although the regulations are not complete rules governing Ontario Public Pools, they do represent the general guidelines followed by the Long Island Aquatic Club. Staff and patrons of LIAC enjoy a zero tolerance policy. If at any time behaviour causes a safety issue or a concern in regards to pool rules or general conduct, this zero tolerance policy will be enforced.
TWO LONG WHISTLE BLASTS – CLEAR POOL – END OF SESSION

IN AN EMERGENCY CALL, EXIT TO THE NEAREST SIDE IMMEDIATELY
