Sechelt Aquatic Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: So fun great with friends
Fantastic experience: always the best time ever
Fantastic experience: This place is great! We are lane swimmers and had ample room to swim here. We swam on a Friday and Sunday. The pool was clean and is updated. The pass was only $6. A great deal, almost half of what we pay to swim in Saskatoon.
Fantastic experience: It's a fun place to take your kids. A little crowded on summer. It definitely needs a sitting area nearby to rest and have some food and drinks, or even a buffet.
Positive experience: I visited the pool with my daughter and grandson this morning and found it to be quite the chaotic experience. It was extremely overcrowded between the general admission swimmers and all the swimming lessons. More than half the warm pool was closed off to the general public which left the other portion very crowded and overwhelming. On a positive the pool is always very clean and the life guards are attentive.
Fantastic experience: Was there today doing laps and enjoyed the hot tub for my shoulder blades
Fantastic experience: Amazing place
Fantastic experience: Great facility for a smaller community.
Positive experience: My wife and daughter were swimming the other day and my daughter was practicing holding her breath and blowing bubbles putting her face in the water. Apparently there's some kinda ☆NEW☆ rule where you can't hold your breath under water?? My wife was accosted by the staff and told to stop. For context, my daughter is 12. These people obviously lack training, as this is common practice when breath training for lap swimming. And being supervised by her mother!! ( a certified life guard and competetitive swimmer) Hey Sechelt Pool!!! STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!
The SCRD Aquatics staff follow the advice and recommendations of the Lifesaving Society. https://www.lifesaving.bc.ca/content/images/pdf-file/shallowwaterblackout.pdf
Fantastic experience: Excellent feature of living here. Thank you Sechelt!
Fantastic experience: Need to open on sundays
Negative experience: What happened to the afternoon toonie swim
We have an evening $3 admission to the facility (for pool and/or weight room) on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. You can view the Low Cost drop-in times schedule for all our recreation facilities here: https://www.scrd.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023-Recreation-Drop-in-Low-Cost-Times-updated-October.pdf
Fantastic experience: За таку ціну це дуже добре
Fantastic experience: Show me another place to spend the afternoon with 5 kids for $14. You can't
Positive experience: Needs a bigger locker room and more private disabled rooms
Fantastic experience: Water is warm, waterslide is really fun
Fantastic experience: Just go! Don't like crowds...go in the morning..The vortex in the Lazy River is therapeutic. Lots of powerful jets for your sore muscles at a low temperature. World Class.
Positive experience: Lots of life guards. Heard kids keep asking for the slide to open. They finally opened close to two hours of waiting just to close after 5 minutes. A lot of the kids you could hear their disappointment knowing that they missed getting a turn or even just to go twice. A lot of the parents were talking about this. Unsure why it wouldn't be open longer since it pulls almost every kid away from the pools and therefore not needing so many eyes on the pools. I know myself, the kids I was with and the other parents and kids were quite disappointed. This is the only pool on this side of the coast that has a slide. This isn't the first time we've missed the 5 minutes of slide time.
Positive experience: Everything you need is there.
Fantastic experience: We always have a great time here. I've been taking my son here since he was about 6 months old. They have lots of floats and life jackets available to borrow and the lazy river is so fun. The colourful lights and music are such a fun touch we always enjoy.
Positive experience: Great place to swim. Options to do lanes, diving board, lazy river, slide, climbing wall etc. except not all of those things will be open at a time. Seems they close the slide and only open it randomly. Climbing wall never got open while we were there. Water features turned on for a bit etc. would be cool if everything could run at the same time cuz then certain areas wouldn’t be so busy. Water temp was warm. Kids enjoyed the lazy river. Change rooms with showers. No cameras allowed in the pool area.
Fantastic experience: Love the fitness classes!
Positive experience: It's a nice facility but their schedule to close the pool during the summer, and being closed during some of the hottest days is just stupid. They should have done the mandatory Maintenance earlier in the year when they wouldn't be as busy and wouldn't be as hot. Some can't get out to Pender or gibsons
Negative experience: The gym would be 1000%better if there was 1-2 more proper power racks where people could squat,deadlift and bench. Get rid of some cardio machines or move them into the other room.
Negative experience: Gym is fine but no discount given on month pass despite the pool, change rooms and basically all other amenities being closed for the entire month
Fantastic experience: Wow, this place is truly awesome! It’s hard to believe it’s around $50 a month. On top of that, I got a $39 annual card for my kid, and having the privilege to go swimming anytime is an absolute blessing. Huge thanks to the Sunshine Coast Regional District and its wonderful facilities!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to the spin and strength class offered in the mornings and it has been great. Wonderful, welcoming group of people - it feels very inclusive and makes you want to continue!
Positive experience: Had a lovely time in the kids pool with my neice. Small but good selection of floats etc
Positive experience: I do aerobics here on saturdays, good pool! Showers could be more cleanly
Fantastic experience: Nice, clean and quiet place with sauna, steam room and whirlpool
Positive experience: It was great and there’s even dancing classes but only 4 stars because there where these kids who made it a mess they would fight and be bad and splash and fill the lazy river but it is a good place and keep in mind that the slide is closed till may 1 st
Fantastic experience: Great local pool. Good size hot tub, massive steam room and big sauna. Friendly lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: This is our public pool in Sechelt. It's fantastic!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice facility
Fantastic experience: Great, l loved the hot tub .my husband loved swimming
Fantastic experience: Great aquatic centre. A lazy river, a shallow end with some dump buckets, sprays and a little kids side in the deeper end. Multiple lanes in the lap pool, a swimming rock wall, diving board, and basketball hoop too. There's a sauna, a steam room and a decent sized hot tub. Staff were very pleasant, lifeguards visible and friendly. Worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: I recommend it. It is a clean place. You can spend hours in peace. Exercise and go to the sauna. The people who work there, super friendly. Everything is perfect and clean congratulations.
Positive experience: Amazing facility for a small town, only the actual gym facility is super lacking and over crowded. They need to double the size of the workout area and add squat, deadlift and and a bit more free weight area. Would be amazing then. Maybe a few more classes as well.
Fantastic experience: Very clean facility. Hot pool, regular pool and spa pool. Also sauna.
Fantastic experience: Everything good
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, well kept and clean with nice equipment. Staff are helpful
Fantastic experience: We love swimming here.
Positive experience: I use the pool only and change rooms. For over 5 years the Centre never fixed the dangerously hot shoer setting. The only 1 of 2 change rooms for disabled has not succeeded in restoring the shower for about a year now. The shortage of life guards has reduced pool access times as well. Other than that, it’s a marvellous recreational centre with a great weight room too. But I had to be generous to award it 3 stars. Yup, disappointed but still privileged to have what many dont.
Positive experience: Beautiful facility. Steam room, sauna, lazy river, leisure pool, hot tub... well maintained. One complaint is that many people use the pool without showering first.
Fantastic experience: There’s a really cute lifeguard there
Fantastic experience: We love it here, the staff are amazing, and the pool and surrounding areas are always so clean, we spend everyday we can there the kids love the lazy river and waterside
Positive experience: The aquatic center is great, however the gym lacks equipment( proper squat rack, dip machine) and is way too packed for such a small facility. They charge premium fees for a poor quality gym
Fantastic experience: great experience! It was full, but not crowded. The lazy river is amazing after a day of biking/ activities. The slide was open for short intervals. The hot tub is HOT. The showers are HOT. Otherwise, very clean and will be back!
Positive experience: Hot hot tub and lots of games for kids. Expensive though.
Fantastic experience: Great pool! The staff is very efficient. Wish the water slide was open for a longer period of time.
Positive experience: Very nice.
Fantastic experience: A easy swimming activity all week long saved it in my routines forever lasting change life gave me a joyful feeling at sechelt pool Thank you , I love you
Fantastic experience: I love the steam room and jet massage in the lazy river. The staff are super friendly. The length pool is the right temperature. My kids love it too.
Negative experience: Great facility but haven't been able to make it in before they close do to the fact that work during the day and their hours of operation are 9-4:30..... what a joke. They should be open until at least 8pm
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff! Large, well equipped gym with lots of free weights, machines, and a rack. Only downside is the bench press doesn't have height adjustable j-hooks.
Fantastic experience: Great pool, has a fun kids side, a lazy river which is super fun, a climbing wall, and all around great facilities.
Fantastic experience: The Lifeguards here are angels. It's like a family
Fantastic experience: Very clean change rooms and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: My favorite place to go.
Fantastic experience: Love the steam room.
Fantastic experience: My kids an I had a blast! The red slide was my sons favorite part. Staff were very friendly an kind. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Great pool, friendly staff, can't wait till there isn't such waits to get in on a Saturday but other than that, I'd say it's the best pool on the coast
Fantastic experience: Great pool, friendly staff, can't wait till there isn't such waits to get in on a Saturday but other than that, I'd say it's the best pool on the coast
Fantastic experience: I love coming to the pool. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon and the staff are super helpful.
Fantastic experience: Very nice facility.
Fantastic experience: Used to go there all time and spend hours there. Great friendly, beautiful lifeguards whom always treated me with respect. I miss this facility and the lifeguards! This place provides a safe haven and another slice of heaven to burn off stress and detox with sauna, whirlpool, steamroom!
Negative experience: The staff were very annoying and would not let us even play tag in the lazy river
Fantastic experience: Great new steam room. The old stream room was crap but now it's actually hot. Very affordable price per month. The staff are awesome
Positive experience: Overall the pool is quite good, my main issue is the price. It's almost 12 dollars to swim as an adult with a child. They also make you pay for a locker token, which feels like gouging to me. Also, you used to be able to use your reciept to get you back in the facility later in the day if you wanted to return. Now they no longer let you do that, it really feels unreasonable to me that a public facility is trying to squeeze every dollar out of you when you come to use it.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff! Large, well equipped gym with lots of free weights, machines, and a rack. Only downside is the bench press doesn't have height adjustable j-hooks.
Fantastic experience: As the shower were closed at the campground due to the drought, we were able to take a shower at the Aquatic center for $3. Open area shower.
Positive experience: Nice spa
Fantastic experience: It's great to be able to get out and do something. Very Covid friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids and adults. Hope it opens again soon.
Fantastic experience: Like the swimming pool, work out room and the pokemon gyms and stops
Fantastic experience: Love this pool, such a great family pool includes the lazy river, waterslide (when in use), and larger pool for swimming lengths.
Positive experience: Great facility - little overpriced at $7 for 45min lane swim (comparable at $4.50 for 45mins in the lower mainland), but nice and well maintained.
Negative experience: Rude, insulting comments given over phone. Not appreciated in the slightest.
Positive experience: It was good ,gym was nice and clean and equipment had good distancing . Surprised I was the only wearing a mask while I was working out tonight!!!!!!
Positive experience: I was truly saddened by the lack of competent staff. They were rude and it left a bad taste in my mouth. However, hats off to the cleaning crew, I must say the change rooms have never looked so good before, they were practically gleaming.
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids and adults. Hope it opens again soon.
Fantastic experience: closed during COVID
Fantastic experience: Beautiful swimming pool. Great #customerservice in the front desk.
Fantastic experience: A variety of activities for every age and fitness level
Negative experience: Got discriminated over my physical disability requiring full time wheelchair access and being native. My family member and I had to fight to use the equipment for my needs. Plus being a veteran does not look good on them. Still remember that lifeguards name "Liz" and that's who gave us guff while we were visiting from out of town.
Positive experience: I'm not the type to leave reviews often unless I'm either impressed or quite disappointed. Especially when it comes to businesses in a small town. But since visiting this facility a few times both alone and and with my kids since moving to Sechelt recently, I have to say this place is pretty nice; both the pool and gym. There are a few staff members with bad attitudes, but it's well equipped and always very clean. Occasionally the chlorine smell can be overpowering but I prefer this location over the Gibson's location any day!
Positive experience: Don't drink the water in the pool it made me sick
Fantastic experience: Great staff and facilities
Positive experience: It's pretty good the slides are amazing
Fantastic experience: Great pool and hot tub and decent gym.
Fantastic experience: This is my favourite Aquatic Centre to go to! Love the hot tub and the lazy river.
Fantastic experience: Well equipped centre with helpful staff. Come along for twoonie Fridays.
Fantastic experience: Awesome Facility! Staff are friendly! Super toonie swim!
Fantastic experience: Superb. Great admin, diligent life guards, clean, busy. The pool is fun enough to keep a parent preoccupied whilst the kids play. The water is generally very very good. Steam, showers, great for anyone that needs some privacy changing with family rooms. The big red wateeslide at night is soooooo fun!!
Positive experience: Inadequate hours.
Positive experience: This pool has awesome murals on the wall, lots of lanes for lane swims and it's only $7 for a drop in fee! I was here for business and was able to use the gym and pool after work. It's also got a sauna, steam room and hot tub which were lovely ways to end the day!
Fantastic experience: Very nice
Positive experience: Awesome place to visit
Negative experience: Steam room is always unsanitary. Should be rinsed atleast hourly
Fantastic experience: Great
