Because of ongoing staffing availability challenges, pool visitors may notice last-minute changes to swim session schedules in addition to operational changes.
These changes are being made to ensure patron safety above all else.
Operational changes
Operational changes may include:
Changing pool length; for example, from 50 metres to 25 metres.
Important note Effective Sept 11, 2023, all long course (50 m) swims at Hillcrest Aquatic Centre will be temporarily suspended. All patrons wanting to swim in a 50 metres facility should review the Vancouver Aquatic Centre schedule.
Closing of a pool section(s)
Length of sessions
Cancellation of sessions
Cancellation of lessons (Parents will be notified beforehand and given additional information)
Have a specific question about a drop-in swim session? Contact the facility directly on the day of the scheduled session.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work towards resolving the issue. When making decisions affecting services at our facilities, we prioritize the safety and equity of all patrons and staff.
