 HRM has a variety of beaches, lakes and outdoor pools, many of which are supervised by our trained lifeguards every day of the summer.
Trained by the Lifesaving Society, our lifeguards have specialized training in injury prevention, first aid and are equipped with emergency supplies for a waterfront setting.
All locations which are supervised by HRM staff, include daily maintenance and weekly water testing as well.
HRM Beach Phone Line: 490-5458
 To register for swim lessons at any of the HRM-supervised locations please contact your local recreation center.
