Nanaimo Aquatic Centre

Very well organized for Covid protocols, clearly marked signs and directions, friendly staff.

The facility opened today (September 10, 2020) on a pre-book- your-time basis due to COVID protocols. What we didn't know was that we would be held captive for an hour, waiting on the pool deck until our "leaving time" which is 1 hour after the start time. That's a lot to ask of people who can only swim for a short time. Let's hope this can be changed soon.

Most of the facility isn't accessible and you need to book a 1 hour time slot and pay in advance. However, doesn't every islander enjoy swimming?

Fantastic pool in Nanaimo! There's a huge wave pool and accompanying whirlpool, a huge play structure for kids, waterslides, diving boards, length pools, and more. In addition, there's a large hot tub, sauna, and steam room. In the same building there's a giant exercise room. I would say the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre is the best spot to go swimming in Nanaimo. For sure recommend!

This is a great aquatic centre with 3 waterslides, sauna, steam room, big hot pool, excellent training pool and a fitness centre. It's able to cater to special needs and families. The decor is piratical fitting with the pirate and nautical themes present throughout Nanaimo. Nanaimo has one smaller aquatic centre at. Beban Park, as well.
