Major renovations are planned for the Casgrain Sports Centre swimming pool. The work will begin in May 2025, the pool will be unavailable during this period. The work is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2026.

Located in the basement of Casgrain, the swimming pool is a six-lane, 25-meter chlorine system with a depth of 1.1 meters in the shallow end and 3.7 meters in the deep end. The pool is maintained at a warm 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) and is equipped with a one-meter spring diving board.

Our recreational swim hours are open to people of all ages and abilities. During these hours there are three lanes in the pool to provide space for lap swimming and the remainder of the pool is open for “free” swim. Please note that the shallow end is closed from 20h00 – 21h00 on Monday and Wednesday and from 16h30 – 17h30 on Tuesday and Thursday for Aquafit classes when in session.

Please note: Lap swimming must happen in the lap lanes not outside the designated lap area. As well the Deep-end section will now vary between “Diving Board” and “Free Deep” every 15 minutes if the diving board is requested.

Please note: No external instructors are permitted to give private lessons during recreational swim hours. For the moment, current John Abbott Staff members are still permitted to teach privates during public swim except during Aqua Fitness times.

The following individuals must be accompanied in the water by an individual who is 13 years of age or older; children ages 0 – 5 years old, any person wearing a personal flotation device, any person who is a weak swimmer or a “non-swimmer”.

All children ages 6-12 years old must be under the supervision of an individual who is 13 years of age or older, the individual supervising the child(ren) must be present on the pool deck.

Kimyou Ho 1 year ago

Negative experience: My kids use to have swimming class here, we love it. But, for this season, the regular class of my son share the same line with a private class. That is not pratical at all for learning. There to much students in the same line.

Lascar Elodie 1 year ago

Positive experience: L' eau est chaude et le personnel très bien. Mais les horaires des bains libres sont vraiment restreintes malheureusement.

Michelle Rodrigues 1 year ago

Positive experience: Pool is very clean, but near the stands where people sit is dirty and gross. Might need a deep cleaning.

Mina L. 1 year ago

Positive experience: Piscine propre, facile à trouver si on suit l'odeur du chlore. J'adore la partie profonde parfaite pour plonger et la partie peu profonde parfaite pour les plus jeunes

Fantastic experience: I wasn't actually at the pool bit in a hall not far from the pool at a craft event. Today the organizer was very polite and motivating. John Abbott is very spacious and clean.

E Morrell 2 years ago

Negative experience: The staff is lovely but the pool itself is very gross. The tiles are stained, with a line of thick grime where the water surface touches the tile. The water is murky like it has not been cleaned in a while.

Fantastic experience: Older style pool with wooden roof/ceiling. MIS rents space there to give swim lessons at a nice price. Great lockers, showers, changing area, bring a lock! Modern gym equipment and bikes. Handy water fountains. JAC is an example of beautiful campus and architecture, but way too underfunded for decades. Some buildings have been closed for at least 50 years, without money for proper maintenance. Fun to stop by for yearly Ribfest, as there is lots of room to sit on grass or tables under tent. Bus is available.

Negative experience: 8 kids in one lane is too much. Their is less light in the pool area. The shower temperature is never constant nor is it adjustable.

Roger Reis 6 years ago

Negative experience: They seem to have lost some lights over the summer while replacing old fixtures. It is very dark in the pool area. Damaged lockers. Confusing parking signs. Signs indicate only staff allowed. The group's of 8 kids in the same lane constantly bumping into each other. Different ages also. 8 year olds together with 12 year olds doing the back stroke. My child was slapped in the face 6 times while doing back stroke from a boy twice her age and height. In that same swimming class of 8 kids in one lane, their are 4 swimming levels at the same time. Level 7,8,9, and 10. The showers are awful. The temperature is never constant. Also no hooks or shelves nor towel racks in shower cubicles. Only one shower you can adjust the water temperature and it's one of the handicapped shower stalls. Which is always occupied.

ty dixon 6 years ago

Positive experience: The staff is fantastic, the facility is extremely dated and is in desperate need of renovations. Family change rooms would be a great addition.

Victor Prescod 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome

Travis Chalmers 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A remarkably complete sports complex with pool, racquet courts, weight training room, physiotherapy, indoor courts for basketball, badminton, floor hockey, gymnastics, and more. The Blue Cross swimming lessons are offered by the college, for little kids. We really like it because the lessons are affordable and let us keep up the sports habit for our indoors-only-in-winter child.
