Vancouver Aquatic Centre

Vancouver Aquatic Centre

The Vancouver Aquatic Centre is an indoor pool located in downtown Vancouver near the Burrard Street bridge. It's the best year-round lap pool in the city, not only is it 50 meters, but also it's shallow, clean, and well-maintained. The glass roof allows the light to stream in—bring your tinted goggles. The facility also has a weight room, sauna and whirlpool.

Vancouver Aquatic Centre hosts several swim clubs, and offers lessons, including learn-to-swim courses and stroke-improvement sessions.
