2025 Annual Pool Shutdown

These actions are completed to ensure the longevity of the Aquatic Centre and help prevent larger, more costly problems from occurring. 

• Complete preventative maintenance on all areas of the Aquatic Centre – the pools, steam room, hot tub, change rooms and mechanical areas.
• Inspect for damage and/or regular wear and replace parts as required.
• Complete planned projects including major repairs or required upgrades which require turning off operating systems.

During the shutdown, maintenance works are completed to ensure the longevity of the Aquatic Centre and to help prevent larger, more costly problems from occurring in the future. This year's shutdown has been extended in order to complete work related to the Brennan Park Recreation Centre renovation project.

• All three pools will be drained and routine maintenance will include scrubbing and cleaning the tiles and grout, checking for broken or damaged tiles, grates and filters.
• Routine preventive maintenance on boilers, pumps, HVAC systems.
• Inspections and (if required) repairs on play equipment.

• Historically, customer usage decreases in September as many people are getting back into their regular routine after summer vacation.
• The water table also plays a major role in this decision. The water table is traditionally at the lowest level after a hot and dry summer. A lower water table allows for safer conditions when emptying the pool which will ensure less impact on the pool basins.
