May 21, 2024
Spring is almost here and we want to share news about the Aquatics Centre maintenance and updates around the CGC in the upcoming months.
Aquatics Centre Maintenance
(Posted on February 22, 2024)
After lots of active play, the Aquatics Centre is getting some TLC as we tackle larger maintenance projects and spring cleaning that are not possible while the areas are in use.
CLOSING | Sunday, May 26th, 2024 at 9pm
RE-OPENING | Monday, June 24th, 2024 at 5:30am
During this time the full Aquatics Centre will be closed and the pools will be drained, so that we may accomplish the following:
- Planned locker replacement in the Wet Change Rooms
- Repairs to the pool deck floor tiles and grates
- Repairs to Dry Sauna shower area and Hot Tub
- Maintenance to the moveable floor in the Competition Pool
- Replacement of signage around the pool deck and water slide area
- Painting and additional benches around the pool deck
- And some serious deep cleaning of locker rooms and pool deck
Plus, we’ll be doing repairs to our water slides and diving boards with more details for these projects to follow. We thank you in advance for your patience during this Aquatics Centre maintenance closure and hope you are as excited about the improvements as we are!
How to cope without the Aquatics Centre–We can help!
Our dryland activities and classes will continue to run during this time. It’s a great opportunity to explore other areas of the Centre:
- May 21 Update | Try out one of our dryland fitness classes—click here for the Drop-in Group Fitness Schedule | May 27 to June 23, 2024. We’ve highlighted the added classes during Aquafit times in red!
- Take a walk on the 200m indoor Track with friends or test out a pair of Nordic Walking Poles available at the Fitness Centre Desk
- Book a game of Pickleball or Badminton in the Field House or practice your basketball throws
- Stop by for a workout in the Fitness Centre
- May 21 Update | If you still want to swim during this time (May 27th-June 23rd), members can use their CGC membership at Zatzman Sportsplex (Aquatics Centre) and Centennial Pool— please show your CGC membership card at the Zatzman Sportsplex or Centennial Pool Customer Service Desk to swim during the closure dates only!
