Renfrew Park Pool

So disappointed with the swimming lessons at Renfrew pool. My son had to take swim kids 3 five times because his side glide on only his right side was weak. Took him to another pool for swim kids 3 passed him on his first lesson and bumped him to swim kids 4 and were shocked how many times he had to take it again.Take my son to swimming lessons for swim kids 5 at Renfrew pool and find out his class is full of 7 kids. It's a 1 hour session, 2 days a week for 6 weeks with 12 different tasks to check off the report card. Which means it's designed for failure. No child could pass on their first class, there isn't enough time for each kids to master each task and enough one on one time with the lifeguard. On the last class we couldn't go for a prior event so I went to pick up his report card before class started and the life guard said he will not hand out report cards before class and walked away.Renfrew is a great pool but the swimming lessons are terrible. It's a money pit. If you want your child to get a better quality swimming lesson with more one on one with the teacher and you aren't spending several hundreds of dollars in the same lesson go anywhere else.

Horrible management and client servicing. If you're closing for an entire day you should probably give some notice to patrons

A local 25 m 6 lanes pool with a good amount of parking and good amount of lockers. There is a nice ravine walk next door if you decide to go for a walk after your swim. Early morning swim is when I go as it is convenient for me being 15 minutes from home.Now why don’t I give this complex 5/5? A few things: Patron behaviour and cleanliness. Part of this is cultural and part of it is just the selfish behaviour of humans. Lost points for cleanliness and lack of reinforcement of the no spitting and snorting rule on deck, in the showers and change rooms. The amount of guttural throat clearing sounds and blowing of noses into the drains, on the deck and in the change room is definitely remarkable. Granted, it could be related to the flu season but this is yet another reason not to have people hacking and blowing and clearing their throats and spitting in the pool, shower and change room.Second reason why a point was lost was more about selfish choices of patrons. There are people who take over the changing rooms as their own while they swim m. They leave items in the private change room and get upset when others use them to change in. I actually do not use the close door change rooms because they are for me, too much trouble (fast changer, no fuss as I sort myself out once I get to work). I have however witness people banging on the change room door angry at the person inside who wanted to use the space even though the first person had left their clothes and had gone for a swim. Shouting matches have ensued along with stopping around and firm placement of items in specific areas placed there to make a territorial point.These two aspects of this pool make for unhealthy tension in the change rooms and sometimes on deck. I fear the first behaviour will spread more disease than necessary. This is supposed to be a health centre- I do hope that staff have the ability to help coach patrons around proper health practises and not just have the ‘no spitting sign up’ as the sign does not make any good difference especially if the behaviour is culturally acceptable in certain countries. A note about racism- yes, I am White, a woman and part of Gen X but please note this post has been made in the context of health concern and has not complained about a certain race.

Great pool. Awesome sauna and hot tub. Also Donna deserves a big pay bump

This Renfrew pool has great instructors for teaching your kids to swim. They are usually fully booked but their system has recently changed. You could only register the swimming lessons at a scheduled date preventing a lot of hassles and waiting in line to fight over a spot for your child

Clean water, best hot tub in the city, sauna is a great temperature but extremely small. Lengths are too crowded or limited because of lessons. Update september 6--. For some reason they have their hot tub closed abruptly on the regular. Its becoming a bit of a hassle. And frustrating. Just fix the damn thing if its broken.

We attend swim lessons here its perfect for the little ones

Wouldn't give me a free pass after charged me 30 minutes before closing.I went there on Saturday to swim at 4:30 I paid. My first time there. As soon as I got in the pool they kicked me out. They should've informed me about the time before charging me 30 minutes before closing.I could prove I paid 30 minutes before closing but they still wouldn't do anything for me.

Too much People!The GYM was full, the pool full!It's a good place if you have children!

The pool and hot tub are great. The pool isn't huge, but everyone was really good about giving everyone else space.My mom's locker was broken into once. Don't bring valuables
