Tips & Advice

Below are some things that’ll help you make the most of your time at the aquatic centre.

TIP #1: If you have young children you’ll want to stay extra close by. The current in the main children’s pool can be quite strong.

TIP #2: If you have older children you can leave on their own, and you don’t want to swim, consider relaxing in the hot tub, hanging out in the steam room by yourself, or going for a walk along the seawall at nearby Dundarave or Ambleside. You can also check out The Beach House at 150-25th Street at the pier at Dundarave if you’re hungry.
