3-Metre Diving Board: Age & Height Rules Start Jan 2

To ensure a safer experience for all guests, effective January 2, 2025, the UBC Aquatic Centre will be introducing a new safety measure for using the 3-metre diving board. Access will be limited to individuals who meet the following criteria: 

  • Aged 12 and older 
  • At least 1.35 metres (4 ft 4 in) tall 

This change is based on Lifesaving Society Canada’s National Safety Standards, which are designed to reduce the risk of injuries and enhance safety at aquatic facilities.  

We kindly ask all guests to review this update before planning their visit. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
