Notes:
|
The center had a $7.6 million upgrade, between August, 2005 and June, 2006.
Check the lap swim schedule on the center's Web site, there are times when lanes are set up width-wise (20m) in the 50m pool.

Reviews:
|
A very nice facility - the 50m pool is clean and new. Sometimes the pool is divided into two 25m sections, half for laps. The locker room can be overrun with kids at times. An exceptional facility: At least four pools including a recently installed outdoor Olympic pool with a temporary roof for the winter. At 7am we had our choice of lanes. The water that was cool but not too cool. As we swam, we watched vapour rise from the pool as dawn broke over a mountain. $5 each, 25¢ for the locker.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
