Register for aquafit or swim lessons
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.
Fitness centre
Our fitness centre has an exercise room that includes treadmills, rowing and cycling machines, weights, and more.
