Positive experience: Very cold outside today to stand waiting for pool to open because someone called in sick. Wonder why alternate staff not available in such cases. Lane swimming only open for 1 hour so who wants to be standing outside when pool not open for 1st 1/2 hou!

Fantastic experience: This swimming pool is second to none for its atmosphere and vibes monitored by an amazing, friendly and very professional team of lifeguards (Chipdem, Scott, etc.). And last but not least, the facility is always clean and with hot water. It is an aquatic dream come true! Kudos again to the all-star(fish) team!

Positive experience: Comparing with other municipal pools this is cleaner, but has no steam room, no curtains in the shower and inconvenient schedule - no possibility to swim after the work

Vytheswaran C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This place is nice but getting spots is a pain and infact in any arena its the same so can't really so much. Hope more slots are made available in all arenas.

Space Champ 5 years ago

Positive experience: It's a good pool when I went when I was younger but unfortunately I once had a concerning moment at this pool back in 2014 or so and It was the end of the public swim and i was on a floaty that someone had moved when i went to grab it then I proceeded to struggle to get out of the water because i was disoriented funny thing is that the Lifeguard "on duty" Did absolutely nothing to help me even though i was screaming for my life literally. I really hope that girl doesn't work their anymore cause the fact that she had watch me struggle for a good few minutes and did nothing is concerning and that my sister had to save me even though the person that job it was. Was completely useless and basically almost killed me. and Traumatized me with that moment. Other than that it a nice pool.

Catillac 5 years ago

Positive experience: The place itself is great but there are some cutbacks... 1. The change rooms are quite small and ALWAYS wet with disgusting puddles usually with a lot of hair. It is quite disgusting.... 2. The lane pool ALWAYS has white booger like things at the bottom. Sometimes floating around.

Ellen Ye 5 years ago

Positive experience: Not super busy so good for a work out

Stephanie Watson 5 years ago

Positive experience: It's a nice community pool to swim in and fairly easy to get to. I went with some friends and we had a good time together even their child had fun. They have a kids pool if they want to go in there but they also provide floating devices and life jackets for safety. This pool has one water slide (nothing fancy though) and it goes into the deepest pool there which also has a low diving board. The water temperature is pleasant to swim in.

Juanesteban Cardenas Villate 6 years ago

Positive experience: Very clean and organized but not sufficient seating for events. Great pool, hot tub and diving pool. Uniquely designed and good prices. Adequate for all ages and people. Nice service and good lifeguards and big place, close to the University of Calgary.

Fariha Shahid 6 years ago

Positive experience: We booked swimming classes for kids. This aquatic cente has totally changed after renovations. This center has pretty good washrooms and change rooms. It's in the NW quadrant. The swimming instructors are really dedicated and hardworking. The size of the pool is not very big but just ok. Water temperature is very comfortable and not cold like other pools in the city.

Sabrina Blanco 6 years ago

Positive experience: Nice pools but a little small for big competitions. For us was excellent, we could appreciate in detail because of the short distance between the audience and the swimmers.

Andrew Beaudin 6 years ago

Positive experience: Very nice facility. Great for family swim lessons.

Katy Emanuel 6 years ago

Positive experience: Nice public pool and large seating area for parents to watch lessons. Have been happy with most instructors however the only downside is they put kids in life jackets far too much to teach them to swim making it much harder for kids to learn to swim

Tisha Homer 7 years ago

Positive experience: Small change rooms with 6 showers in each change room. Shower area can get really congested after lessons especially in the women's change room. Lots of bleacher seating.

Jan Owoc 7 years ago

Positive experience: The staff are very friendly, but the water is rather cold and there is no hot tub nor steam room to warm up in. There is a tot pool (appropriate for ages 0-3) that is warm, and the price is very reasonable.
