About
Us
Boulding
Belugas Swim School is a family owned and operated business registered
with the RM of Springfield. Summer swim lessons are taught at our
home pool at 70099 Willowdale Rd., 2 miles east of Hwy 206, 1 mile
west of Hwy 212 and 2 miles south of Hwy 44. Our pool is “L”
shaped, 40 feet long on one length and 30 feet long on the other side
of the “L”. We have a 6 foot depth on the long length
and 3 foot depth across the short length with steps for entry. Our
pool has a fun 360o curly slide but we do not dive as we do not have
the depth for diving boards. Please see the map
for directions.

in several age groups. Sally is the proud mom of Josh, Kaitlyn, Jordan
