UBC Aquatic Centre

The pool is beautiful itself. the low rate is due to the way it is being managed. Firstly, for lockers you should have looni! and if it is your firs experience probably your time would be waisted to get one. Just top it on the ticket price and make it coinless!! Secondly, there is nobody around to ask a question!! I had problem for locking the locker and it too literally 15 minutes to find someone responsible.Thirdly, the hygiene issue is totally different from the country I come from. people are walking around with sandals and some people are swimming with cloths which is totally a surprise to me!! Are those cloths and sandals are dedicated to using in the pool?? who supervises that?

You will need to register before you arrive or else you will have to get out of line to do this then get back in. Then you will go to the locker area and realize you need a loonie to use the lockers so you will go back to line up for the cashier and they will tell you they can’t do cash back to get you the loonie you need for the locker so then while your friends are waiting you now need to figure out where you are going to keep your clothes. Good luck.

Well, Drop in has changed. Now is Membership drop in. So you buy your membership then sign for the time you want to attend. Awful that I tried to buy the memberships at the front desk, and I was told that the system is too slow, so they recommend me to go home and do it from my own computer. No busy and can't help at the front desk?.. I had my 4 and 5 year old excited about going back to the UBC pool, and the effort was blocked by not getting help. End of the rant.Buy your membership at home and book at time to visit this pool.

So nice to be out cheering on our athletes! Such talent! Pool was well kept, clean. Not great set up to get into stands though. Walk a country mile for a meet since they won't let u in main doors. Otherwise great facilities!

Had a TERRIBLE expience bringing my child and friend here for a drop in swim. Each family and person is REQUIRED to register and you can only do that through and app on your phone. No app no swim. Oh and you can’t pay cash and you can’t tap a card.We spent a frustrating 25 minutes trying to register emails addresses and passwords and birthday dates for us and friends. This was a TERRIBLE experience. No matter how nice the facility is this experience totally RUINED our day.

Super good place for athletic and walk in peopleReception was super friendly when she was giving me 1 buck for locker.There are 4 super big pool for every one. It is a best place I’ve been in BC. Hot tub for kids are super imaging with strong tub water. I felt absolutely relax here.

Overall not my favourite pool. However, I liked the locker rooms (except the showers) and the kids community swim area is nicely heated (good for younger kids).

You have to create online profile just to visit once. Lockers return your loonies. Steam room and sauna never working. Lane swim very crowded. Hot tub not that warm. A good place for families.

Not much to say - quality pool. Unlike most, doesn't feel icky to swim in. Unfortunately my Mother ventured out here to use the sauna/steam, and was assured in person that it was Open. Only to get changed and be told it is not by the lifeguard on duty. A refund was issued, but nonetheless frustrating.Staff does not answer the phone, as well.

One of the most beautiful swimming pools in the world. Super clean and well maintained. Men’s restrooms are at one one of the bleachers. There are multiple pools here for all types of swimming.
