Make a Splash with Orillia’s New Wibit Obstacle Course

The City’s new Wibit water obstacle course is making its debut at the Orillia Recreation Centre on Sunday, May 22.

The Wibit is a floating inflatable obstacle course and playground that will be temporarily installed in the lap pool at the Orillia Recreation Centre for special events such as “Wibit Sundays.” The Wibit was purchased through grant funding as part of the legacy from the Orillia 2020 Ontario Winter Games.

Beginning on May 22, 2022, Wibit swims will be available on special Wibit Sundays, which will be held approximately once per month. During Wibit activity times, all other regular drop-in swims will be cancelled. Spaces will be limited and are first-come-first-served, so be sure to arrive early to reserve your spot.

The Wibit is available for those seven years of age and older. Everyone on the Wibit must be in a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) provided by the facility, regardless of swim ability. Orillia Recreation Centre FUN Pass holders can access Wibit swims at no additional charge. Non-members will pay the drop-in aquatic rate plus an additional $5 per person.
