Vancouver Aquatic Centre closure update - November 7, 2025
The Vancouver Aquatic Centre will remain closed through the upcoming weekend and into next week as staff continue to conduct a comprehensive assessment, including potential mitigation strategies, regarding the spalling concrete in the pool.
At this time, the anticipated reopening date has not been confirmed. We expect to provide a more definitive timeline next week once further information becomes available.
We appreciate the public’s continued patience and understanding as we work to ensure the facility’s safe reopening.

Aquafit sessions
Online registration for most swim sessions are no longer required. Advanced online registration for aquafit sessions are still available and highly recommended to secure a spot. A limited number of aquafit drop-in spots are available in person, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Registration opens 3 days in advance, and closes 30 minutes before the session starts. If you are unable to attend a session for which you have registered, you must cancel in advance by accessing your vanrec.ca account.
Flexipasses and 10-visit passes are accepted for online registration.
Swimming lessons
Swimming lessons are offered for pre-school, children and youth age groups. Infant, toddler, and adult lessons are not available at this time.
