Facility Notes
Although the main pool is striped on the bottom for five lanes, the lane lines (dividers) are usually set up for just four lanes.
The facility had a 20y (18.28m) x 9y (8.23m), 2¾f (0.92m) - 3¾f (1.14m) depth, indoor, 31ºC (88ºF) pool that was used for teaching, fitness classes, and some casual swimming sessions. That pool has been closed since early 2016 due to a leak that was determined too expensive to repair. There's more information about the closure HERE.
The Health Hydro closed on April 1, 2023 for an eighteen-month refurbishment. Its webpage indicates that the gym and activity space will be completely redone and the pool will be refurbished; it does not say that anything will be done to change the pool (e.g., make it a more standard length). We'll see.
Facility Reviews
This is an old-style Victorian era pool. It's kept fairly clean and the water quality is okay. If you just want somewhere to churn out some lengths, it does the job (and the longer pool length is a plus) but it feels a bit run down, particularly in the changing area.
