😐 First time back at this pool since the renovation. The pool is very nice, but the women's changeroom is seriously lacking in showers and space. 3 shower stalls and no open showers for classes of 25+ participants. There are several bathroom stalls in the pool changeroom - WHY????? In my opinion t... People often mention pool, great, Great,

    First time back at this pool since the renovation. The pool is very nice, but the women's changeroom is seriously lacking in showers and space. 3 shower stalls and no open showers for classes of 25+ participants. There are several bathroom stalls in the pool changeroom - WHY????? In my opinion this space should be converted to more showers or change room space. They changeroom layout is terrible too - the doors to the pool have a clear opening to the pool deck so people walking out of the shower naked are on full display to the patrons on the deck. It seems no thought whatsoever went into the design of the changeroom.

    After coming to Guelph, this is the best place to relax yourself, train yourself, they have all the safety measures, kids pool is awesome. They are doing a great job. They have many activities apart from swimming too..

    The staff are exceptional here, this rating reflects the facility only. We wanted to enjoy this place after Centennial closed only to be disappointed for the same reasons others have stated- change room is too small to accommodate volume and the biggest draw back is the pool temperature -so cold some instructors wear wet suits. My children shiver insted of enjoy the lesson. We won't be back or recommend this place.

    They've done a great renovation on this place! It is truly modern and much nicer. I would have improved the changerooms a bit considering the huge renovations but they still serves their function anyway. The pool is nice and big and well supervised. The place overall is bright and spacious, viewing areas for the pool are nice if you don't feel like joining in. My daughter has complained that they removed the ripe swing from the pool when they renovated but she seems to have a great time anyway.

    To begin this is a good place to swim me and my family come here once a week for public swim they have a big lap pool which is quite cold then they have a small waiting pool for the little kids with toys to play with. Some of the downsides of this pool is the family change rooms they only have 1 bench to sit on and 3 changing stalls which can get very crowded on the end of the public swim. The shower area has a very unpleasant odor as soon as you walk by the shower area maybe it just needs a deep clean in the drain system. Other then that the rest of the pool is a great place to go swimming and have a fun time.

    Great Space since the complete renovation, very clean with large windows letting in plenty of natural light, keeping it bright even during the winter. My one complaint would be the changing rooms lacked sufficient benches on my last visit. A number of classes are offered for just about any age group that are great value for money, and the staff are generally very pleasant. Overall would say it's a great place to go. Although I believe the changing rooms could be improved upon, my experience is only with the men's, I cannot speak to the woman's side.

    Wish they had more of a toddler/ child friendly pool with a shallow area that starts at 2 inches of water depth... we need what Red Deer Alberta has- The collicut centre!

    Very nice 50m pool. The facility is very clean, and the staff is friendly. The pool has a shallow, separate children and family section. The air temperature is quite warm and so is the pool temperature. The change rooms have lockers and are $0.25.

    Extremely upsetting that they have came out with this new policy that parents can't sit on the bench on deck while your child is in the water. My daughter is 3 and now devastated she won't be able to see myself or my husband now. Great way to make a young child scared to go into the water. Id get it for older children but a 3 year old! Come on! THIS IS NOT BEST PRACTICE, THIS IS NOT RIGHT! SHAME ON YOU CITY OF GUELPH!
