City of Ottawa beaches are now closed for the season and no longer have lifeguard supervision or water-quality testing, the city announced Tuesday.

“To protect yourself and your family, please do not swim at these locations or any unsupervised waterfronts,” the city’s online advisory said.

For those still seeking swimming options or ways to cool off, more than 100 splash pads at city parks will remain open until mid-September, and there are public, family and lane swim options at indoor pools.

With the Play Free program, children and youth and accompanying adults swim for free on Saturdays, the city notice said.
