Dive In Killarney Now Open

New Killarney Pool Celebrates with Official Opening Ceremony!

March 1, 2006 - The new Killarney Swimming Pool is an $11 million destination leisure aquatic facility serving all Vancouver residents with public swim hours offered all day long. This beach-style entry, fun-filled complex with magnificent views of the North Shore Mountains has a giant water slide, delightful spray and play features for all ages including the "lazy river", a 25 metre lap pool, 15 metre warm lap pool, whirlpool and is wheelchair accessible.

Lengths Plus

A leisure pool is more than just a swimming tank and Killarney Pool's beautiful architecture, with floor to ceiling windows, takes it to even greater heights. The traditional lap pool is augmented by a separate, warmer leisure pool with easy to access "beach entry" along with a shallow length-swimming area for therapeutic exercise or lengths. All pools are wheelchair accessible.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Also on deck are hot pools for soaking, a giant slide, jumping platform and water cannon for playing and a nearby steam room. A lazy river feature, bubble pit and water tunnel round out potential play stations while taking a dip at Killarney.

Sparkling Water in a Room With a View

The new Killarney Pool's water is purified through a state-of-the-art sand filtration system and then treated with ozone, reducing the quantity of chlorine resulting in clearer water and cleaner air. And the beautiful architecture of the building, which is twice the size of the previous pool, boasts huge windows with dramatic views of Killarney Park and the North Shore mountains.

Blue Water – "Green Building"

First we recycled the majority of demolition materials from the old pool and then we ensured that the new pool was designed to operate as efficiently as possible to reduce use of energy and water. Annual fuel savings are anticipated to be about $80,000.
