Several pools including a shallow area for small children, and reviewers rate the staff with kids across swimming, gymnastics and camp. The recurring complaint is seating and shade around the pool, which runs short on hot days, so take a chair. Reviewers also report booking and billing mix-ups, so keep receipts.
Run in partnership with the city and open to the public, with a 25-metre pool plus a separate shallow activity pool with a water play structure for little kids. Call ahead — lap swim, lessons and rec swim rotate, and the family pool isn't always open.

Everything seemed very clean they had many different pools and a fun kid area for small kids. I didn’t like I called the day before and a guy told me wrong swim time so I had to make 2 trips. One thing they should improve is have more available seating and shade! Put chairs in front of lockers that nobody uses or don’t rope of so many tables and chairs for parties when there aren’t parties scheduled. Seating situation needs to be fixed with how hot it gets and how many people you allow in or warn people to bring their own chairs.

The staff is so kind and patient with the kids. We go there for gymnastics, childwatch, swimming, camp and more. The gym upstairs is nice and clean, and they have a variety of classes to suit different fitness levels and preferences. I like the the Egym because sometimes you don't want to think or plan ahead, you just want to show up and get some exercise. They do a great job with all of it.
