Crystal Pool & Fitness Centre

The Crystal pool is one of our family favorites. It's an awesome place to spend time with your kids, connecting through play and fun. Or using the hot tub, sauna and steam room to relax. The lifeguards are always awesome! The cost of admission is by far the most cost effective family activity around.

A real solid rec centre, but with plenty of room for improvement, largely by virtue of being a relatively antiquated work of architecture. That said, the pool is insanely big, and it's pretty cool that the rowing machines and the like directly overlook the big pool from a portion of the top bleachers. The hot tub being tucked away like it is deserves a mention for feeling rather welcoming too. Also, personally noteworthy for being where my SCUBA training largely took place.

What I like about this pool is that there's always leisure lanes available for laps. I switched from saanich rec centers to this one because of how difficult it was to make their impossible leisure schedule work with my schedule. The pool is nice and, again, it's so wonderful that you can go do laps most of the time. What I don't like at all is that there is only ONE gender neutral washroom, and what's even worse is that it also doubles as disability/family washroom. I always feel bad when I shower because I am possibly using it while somebody with children or a person with crutches is waiting for me outside. I'm trans and I feel EXTREMELY unsafe using the open showers, especially if they don't have any curtains and you have to expose your body to everyone. This is unfair and, honestly, kind of discriminatory on their behalf. Fitting 3 fairly large groups of vulnerable people into 1 single washroom is beyond unreasonable.

CLOSES WAY TOO EARLY at 8:30pm on weekdays. I can’t even make it here after work when I do overtime. Rec centers in other countries like Thailand and Brazil open until 11pm… And then on Tuesday and Thursday you only have access between 7:30pm and 8:30pm…No accessibility at all. Otherwise $145 for 3 months. Great value. They have a fantastic swimming pool. Includes hot tub, sauna, steam room. There isnt really a gym at this facility. It is 2 small rooms with some old and basic equipment . I also don’t like how they don’t have free lockers where you can use your own lock, or lockers that return your money. You have to pay each time to use the lockers is really absurd to me.
