Aquatics

The Central Labrador Aquatics Centre consists of a 25 m, 6 lane main pool, with a play pool equipped with a waterslide.

Check out the swim schedule in the Central Labrador YMCA Program Schedule.

Learn to swim with the YMCA swimming instructional program. We recognize that everyone is unique in the how they learn and apply new skills. The YMCA provides swim instruction based on abilities and pace of progression. Our swim lessons for members are offered through a continuous evaluation program.

If you need help determining which class will best meet the needs of your child, in-person swim assessments may be arranged. Please inform the Welcome Desk that your child needs a swim assessment when you arrive at lesson time so that the deck lead can be notified. On your child’s first day of lessons, the deck lead will do a swim assessment to determine which swimming level your child should be in.

Private lessons are available to members at a cost of $125 (+HST) for five 30-minute lessons. A maximum of three people from the same household may be booked into a five lesson-block at no additional charge. Participants must have an active YMCA membership and similar swimming abilities. The five lessons are at the same time each week for five consecutive weeks.

Spaces are subject to availability. Registration for swim lessons require active membership. Memberships and swim lesson registration are available online or over the phone if your membership account is being set up via credit card.
