Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit during weekday mornings (9:00-11:00 AM) for the quietest experience with minimal crowds, especially Tuesday through Thursday.
  2. 2.Bring your own towels and snacks to save money, as rental fees and concession prices can add up for families.
  3. 3.The facility is primarily French-speaking, so download a translation app beforehand or learn basic French pool terms like 'vestiaire' (changing room) and 'glissade' (water slide).
  4. 4.Water shoes are recommended for kids as pool decks can get slippery, and they provide better traction around the facility.
  5. 5.Check their website or call ahead to confirm public swim times, as the pools are sometimes reserved for lessons or aquatic programs.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings between 9:00 AM and noon offer the best experience with fewer crowds and calmer water. Avoid Friday evenings and weekends when local families pack the facility. Winter months are ideal for visiting as the heated pools provide a welcome escape from cold weather.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with indoor heated pools, making it a perfect rainy day or winter activity. Hours vary by day of the week, with extended hours on Fridays until 8:45 PM. The facility may have reduced hours or closures during major Canadian holidays, so check ahead during Christmas, New Year's, and summer holiday periods.
