Aquatic Centre | West Vancouver

Great facility with large competition- diving pool, wave pool, jacuzzi, and steam room, as well as fantastic gym area on Second Level. Gym level is divided into large section and smaller studio, both well-equipped with machines + free weights. Entire gym space has broad range of resistance + weighted cable machines, as well as iron + rubber-coated Olympic plates/dumbbells, and Olympic bars for use with benches, smith machine, and squat cage + rack. Lots of cardio machines are available as well: treadmills, climbmill, rowing machines, stair machines, and elliptical trainers. Great thing is that they all face out towards floor-ceiling windows with great views of sky + mountains. The music is definitely decent too, and screens in gym show NHL or NFL games of the day. Second level also includes Aquatic Centre Physiotherapy clinic (sports + orthopedic). Gym studio space is available for WVAC group health + fitness classes with trainers -- who also offer 1-on-1 workout instruction. All in all, just an awesome complex with great facilities, and friendly helpful people, from the WVCC office staff to the lifeguards and trainers. Definitely worth checking out!

Gorgeous building but poorly run and pool safety; hygiene and etiquette rules are not enforced. Lack of signage about the rules. Cologne and perfume allergies are not taken seriously; lap swimming while gagging on perfume smells because 99% of people don’t shower before swimming. Lap swim lanes are used for walking and random exercises; when there is an entire additional leisure pool to do that in. Exceptionally slow swimmers take over the medium and fast lanes; as well as the larger slow lane. Inappropriate music is on too often and is excessively too loud the majority of the time. People walk on the pool deck fully clothed and in street shoes; even when signage clearly states it is not allowed. The change room showers smell like sewage often. Men spit in the change room showers, talk very loudly and are not considerate of how long they shower when others are waiting. The change rooms are muggy and moist with terrible ventilation. The lap pool has mechanical sounds underwater like a skill saw working. Pools should reinstate Adult Only Quiet lap swim times in the am and pm. Very limited and few times available for serious lap lane swimmers. Not worth the time and money. Not a good experience at all.

This is a fantastic aquatic center. Kids and adults have a wonderful time here. The facilities are top notch and well maintained.

This is a fantastic pool for kids! The location is convenient with easy access. The pool area is large and well-maintained, and the staff were very kind and helpful. My son had a blast exploring the different water areas designed for walking, surfing, jumping, and just relaxing. I appreciated the vigilant lifeguards and the comfortable seating area where I could keep an eye on him. It was a shame the slide wasn't working, but overall, we had a wonderful experience.

Came here a lot when I was kid it was the nicest pool in the Northshore at the time The washrooms have been remodeled It's quite big there's laps, a diving pool area, a slide, a normal pool area, a lazy river, and everything that would be at a pool like sauna,steam room, and hotubs There's two hot tubs: an adult and a child one, the the adult one doesn't get that hot anymore at least from what saw and steam room was hot but not as foggy Overall, it was great when I was a kid, but it does need a fix up

Nice pool overall, but the lifeguards can be a bit too strict with their warnings, especially after 5 PM. They're not as flexible or understanding as those at other pools.

Absolutely wonderful aquatic and recreation center. Professionally run and very family oriented. Very reasonable costs as well. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and professional staff. I got my physio for broken anckle here and I am very happy with the treatment. Also, the location is nice and clean, with other facilities around
