Birthday Party Type Options

We offer mermaid parties as well as basic pool parties. In the pool, we have two staff members who will help the party attendees have a splashingly fun time. Pool games will vary depending on the ages and swimming ability of the swimmers.

If choosing a mermaid party, swimmers ages 3-5 years old will be wearing toddler tails (just a mermaid tail with no mono-fin) while swimmers ages 6-10 years old will be able to wear both a mermaid tail and mono-fin if their feet are large enough! We have a wide assortment of tails with lots of colour options.

Any swimmer who can’t touch the bottom of our 4-ft deep pools will be required to wear a provided puddle jumpers for safety. Unfortunately we are unable to make any exceptions for swimmers younger than 3 or older than 10 years old.

Pool Party Environment

Birthday parties can take place in either our 24 ft or 40-ft salt-water pools, it depends on how many swimmers are participating! If a party has 5 or less swimmers, our 24-ft pool will be a great option while if a party has 6-10 swimmers, our 40-ft pool will be required in order to ensure swimmers have enough space to swim.

The main pool area (40-ft pool) has eight individual change rooms while the private pool area (24-ft pool) has two individual change rooms. Each pool area has a private washroom, hair-drying station, and seating for parents.

Party Room Details

If the party attendees would like to continue the birthday celebration after the swim time, we do have a dedicated party room available cake and presents! The room rental includes appropriately themed table settings (plates, cups, cutlery, and napkins), balloons, and table decorations. All the party host has to provide is the food. There is a fridge and small freezer available for food if it needs to stay chilled during the swim time.

A week before your scheduled party, we will touch base to confirm the birthday child’s favourite colours as we try to incorporate them as much as possible when setting up and decorating the party room. This helps ensure that each party setup is a little unique for the birthday child!
