Sarnia Riding Club
Aquatic Program
Welcome back for another great summer at the Sarnia Riding Club Pool! My goal for this summer is to make the pool area a safe and enjoyable environment. With creative and innovative ideas, I hope to make this season new and exciting. Be sure to keep an eye out for program and activity postings around the pool area to stay informed of all of the events that we have planned for you. We have a great team of lifeguards and we are all looking forward to seeing you around the pool this summer!
