St. James Assiniboia Centennial Pool and Fitness Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Terrific facility!! Fun, family-oriented swimming pool, kids will love the outdoor splash pad, and adults can go to the fantastic fitness room.
Fantastic experience: Rarely happen in winnipeg that a pool has a hot tube option that you can find in this swimming pool
Positive experience: Updated: Time will tell but I have experienced some improvement in staff customer service and to date a decrease in cell phone engagement. Since the re-opening it does seem cleaner. Needs to be cleaner. Friendlier, more engaged staff vs buried in their cell phones. More aware of what's going on in the showers/change room/sauna's. They're unclean whenever there's more than a few people. I've seen the same hardened shampoo and soap on shower shelves and walls for days. There are a couple of female staff that do an excellent job, a big kudos and thank you to them. There are a number of lazy young males buried in cell phones that do nothing about empty towel holders and dirty toilets when informed. Whereas other staff have it taken care of immediately. Customer service needs great improvement.
Fantastic experience: Our autistic family gets the best treatment- thanks!
Fantastic experience: Nice facility with lots of equipment. Usually not to busy. Pool is nice with a good lap area. Sauna is good and hot! Great rates too.
Fantastic experience: Great city pool. Facility is well kept and clean.
Positive experience: The place looks great, the weight area is nice and spacious. The pool is nice too but we find the temperature a bit on the cold side.
Positive experience: We brought a group of 60 and the staff were fantastic to deal with! A nice facility.
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids swimming lessons.
Positive experience: Equipment a bit dated, but a good cheap gym with a nice sauna.
Fantastic experience: Great facility. Instructor led training group class very beneficial.
Positive experience: Good atmosphere
Negative experience: This pool is not a good option for lap swimmers. I've never seen more than two lanes designated for lap swimmers, and when there's only one lane, the spineless lifeguards that this latest generation has produced will not restrict who swims in the lane. So you get to swim alongside whoever has decided to putter back and forth in that specific lane. I'm sorry, but if you're not wearing goggles, you're clearly not a lap swimmer and don't belong there. I got out when an overgrown child nearly kicked me in the face.
Positive experience: Clean heated pool with ample locker room size. Nice indoor track. One stop work out facility
Positive experience: Gym equipment is older but decently maintained. Memberships are very inexpensive compared to a lot of bigger gyms. The sauna is a nice addition to my routine.
Positive experience: Standard swimming pool as a public thing it’s fine
Fantastic experience: Other than the pool; my favorite thing about St. James Assiniboia Centennial Pool has to be the aerobics studio, the sauna & the hot tub.
Fantastic experience: Great pool!
Fantastic experience: The 2nd floor indoor track is perfect for those winter days.
Fantastic experience: This pool is in a nice, friendly suburban area; away from the inner city.
Positive experience: Ordinary pool. Sauna!!
Positive experience: I went to this pool as it was one of the closer ones to my home, but I find the facility very old and outdated, and the pool water is very cold (as well as the shower jets. They have a water slide, however it slides down into the deeper end of the pool, which doesn’t make any sense for kids who can’t swim well. The hot tub is also very small. There’s not enough natural light in there and not enough lighting as well so it look’s pretty dark. My preferred pool will be the St James Civic Centre swimming pool. The water there is much warmer and has very bright lighting. I also used the sauna too, which was ok. They don’t have a steam room.
Positive experience: The schedule could be better but it’s a good clean pool to swim in
Fantastic experience: My kids love coming for the pool and I love that there's a splash pad just outside for smaller kids
Fantastic experience: Nice pool but they should have a rule for the hot tub so everyone that wants to use it gets a chance.
Fantastic experience: I just lobe Timmy's tea and food services
Fantastic experience: Amazing big pool with waterslide, suna, hottub and dive. The water is so clean and the pool was not crowded over the past few weekends. The Kids loves it !!
Fantastic experience: Very nice place for kids in summer. Always clean and less crowded.
Fantastic experience: Been to the splashpad when it's open with the kids. Nice and local for me. The pool is great and I happen to know the lifeguards are top notch most of the time. There's a gym behind it which has an indoor track among other things, great place to go!
Positive experience: The water in the pool is a bit cold. For kids swimming lessons my kids are always really cold by the time the lesson is over.
Fantastic experience: Warm pool , warmer hot tub, warmest sauna! Nice gym and indoor track. Good staff, good times
Positive experience: Swimming lanes are wide.
Fantastic experience: SO MUCH FUN!!!! Clean, well staffed, great prices, family fun.
Fantastic experience: Great place! the pool is typically slow enough to enjoy yourself without being too overwhelmed by people and the hottub and sauna are a good temperature. The outdoor splash pad is excellent for the little ones to enjoy in the summer. I hear the weight room is excellent although I haven't used it because these guns can't get any bigger or Trudeau will ban me from Canada.
Negative experience: The public swimming closes today, but no one let us know until we signs up for the membership. Otherwise, we can get the membership in another when we are able to swim. Hope someone can contact me for the inconvenience.
Positive experience: I was disappointed that the hot tub was closed due to a shortage of staff. The sauna was nice. There is a water slide in the deep end and a small water slide in the shallow end. It wasn't too busy. One thing I didn't like was the walk from the parking lot.
Positive experience: Good sized pool. Rarely over crowded. Noce water slide and diving board. Small hot tub. I like how the ladies have their own sauna off the shower. Remember a coin for the lockers.
Fantastic experience: Great gym where you never have to wait to get on equipment. Pool lanes are never crowded and the perfect temperature for me. I swim laps but don't like to be cold.
Fantastic experience: Great centre. Change rooms are dated but good and the pool and gym are dope.
Positive experience: Clean and tidy

Positive experience: Great facility for swimming lessson. Needs more spaces for private changing.
Positive experience: Saturday night's 6pm to 8pm Teen swim ages 9-19 Free admission. Photos taken from tonight. Not busy at all. Adults are not allowed to swim though which I find weird and must be supervised except I'm the only mom supervising lol. Came here since I was a teen myself, always clean and staff very respectful. I recommend for all ages. They have 3 parts to the pool, kitty, 3 feet and deep end with waterslide and diving bored. Summer time has a splash pad outside on the property. I dig it.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Its great and has everything you might want for a gym. Indoor track, weights, machines, pool. I like hiting everything
Fantastic experience: The best city of Winnipeg gym in my area. Staff is super friendly and the new Covid protocols are well executed. The gym is rarely (if ever) busy and the equipment is almost all new. An excellent and safe place to exercise!
Fantastic experience: We had a great time. The City of Winnipeg staff at all city pools are fantastic and the safety and socially distancing protocols are well thought out and executed!
Negative experience: Unfortunately, the splash park does not work after we set with other families wait for an opening, and the kids were too sad
Positive experience: We love the pool and swimming with my daughter but the swimming lessons and instructors are less than consistent. Could improve on some of the staff and communication with parents before and during lessons, especially the under 3 age group. The pool and change rooms haven't been updated for many years (since I was a kid in the early 80's). The weight room, track, and splash pad are impressive. Like most of the city pools it's a mix of the good and the crumble. Enjoy them anyways.
Positive experience: Needs the change room floors done more pften
