This Gym belongs to the category of Recreation center.
Esquimalt recreation is a great facility, pool, gym and community centre. Staff there are excellent! The only downside of this space, to me, is the weird security gates they installed a few years ago. Every second time I go there I see someone accidentally setting off the alarm bells (have done this myself and it's so embarrassing), or getting stuck in the gates. Also the array of signs that they've added to explain how the "automated" gate system works is hilarious - it's a case study in a UX failure. Luckily they have permanently disabled part of the security gate so it's a little more user friendly now. But everything else is cool and has a more authentic community centre feel.
Great facility.
Great place to go swimming. There is time everyday for drop in which most pools don't offer.
Dirty needs maintenance
Great staffs, has that community feel.
They have so much going on there
(Translated) A pretty good place, with several activities for Christmas (Original) Un lugar bastante bien, con varias actividades para navidad
Great service. Nice gym
Always a nice time. Pleasant people and great staff. Always will to help a newbie learn.
Very nice rec center. Esquimalt rec center is a gem. The facilities are clean and relatively new. The pool area has big windows that let in plenty of natural light. The hot tub is spacious, and the lazy river is a relaxing and fun. This is a model rec center in the area.
Excellent management of pool under extraordinary conditions.
Great pool, awesome lessons/instructors! I just wish the family change rooms were cleaner, and there was more of them! Check out the splash pad for more amazing family fun!
Hot tub gets me relaxing. Thank God no chlorine. ☺
Bad pool, strict lifeguards, all around unenjoyable
A good solid community kinda place.
Fun!
Great place to go swimming with the kids or by yourself.
BEAUTIFUL FACILITIES!!!!
Awesome clean place with friendly helpful staff
Great pool and outdoor water park. Kids love it
Great gym, probably the best pool in Victoria. Tends to be a tad on the cool side
A fine rec centre but definitely not the right venue for the Japanese Cultural Show.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE AND PEOPLE. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. Total disrespect to their commitment and to their client’s money. I enrolled to a class, they called me the day before to let me know they won’t open the class. Nothing was said about their "right" to cancel class when I paid them, and nothing about it was written in their publication for that class. My attempts to get a refund spanned over more than 2 months. They first claimed they refunded me, I had to proof it to them that they’re wrong, they then refunded me the payment without the tax, and only after I insisted about it, they sent me the reminder. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE AND PEOPLE. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
A pool lovers dream! Great fitness centre and great classes offered. Love the aquafit! They have a lap pool, a leisure pool (that adults can use too) with a current river, a hottub, steam room, cedar sauna and also a little toddler pool. There are some slides, and some other fun water features. Front desk staff is very friendly.
Enjoy it. Lots of seniors
A great place to take your kids or grandkids
A great place to bring the family have birthday parties get-togethers
Pretty nice facilities
I go to a knitting group there!
Excellent place, nice staff, nice service. Nice building, lockers & place to workout & other activities. OLD EAGLE EYES ANDRE MOTUZ
Water is great, perfectly warm and salty.
Cool place, I just love the recreation centres!
Great pool and amazing gym facility
Welcoming to all ages and abilities. Responsible, friendly staff. Beautiful facility. 4 pools and a lazy river to choose from. Reasonably priced.
Excellent for families
One of the better rec centers in Victoria, in my personal opinion, because it's less populated.
They are doing a great job!
It was really good for all age groups.Kids had fun at the pool.Wheelchair accessible.
Feels a little small when busy. Weight lifting area equipment a bit dated. But I'll work out anywhere to get my workout in!
Alright
Awesome! One stop shop for great activities for my family. My only complaint is TERRIBLE parking lot and lack of space.
Enjoyed the variety of the pools, toys, life jackets for kids, plus the waterfalls and sprinklers at different areas. We have fun at the swirl pool to and keep warm in the large hot tub. Look forward to trying out the steam room next time.
Good pool and hot tub.
Such a great place. They offer gender neutral change areas. Their pool is seperate from the gym so you aren't inhaling chlorine while working out and just a clean, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere!
Awesome gym, great people and chalk friendly. Eugene is the man.
Warm, unpretentious, friendly. A true local pool although people also come from all over the area because of the atmosphere and the body temperature water. No one frowns in that water...
Love this place. If you are queer or trans then this place is amazing. Unlike Crystal Pool, the staff here are courteous and amazing! There are also several queer groups that have meetups here as well. Always had a good time here.
I have enjoyed many years of working out and swimming in the pool. The staff are great. The equipment is in good shape. The wading pool/river is warm and fun to float around with some noodles. They have classes of all kind to attend for reasonable fee's, and activities seem to change seasonally. It's a good spend of time for not too much money. I did edit my review to focus on the Rec Center rather than the parking lot. I highly recommend the Esquimalt Recreation Center.
Great relaxed area. Lots of green field, and a Lacrosse box.
Esquimalt rec center is awesome, salt water swimming pool, kids gym and Adult work out area. Beside have a new water park.
Our families favorite swimming spot. The salt water is amazing for buoyancy and the kids pool is twice the size of other rec centers. We love how busy it is NOT.....I almost erased this post but it's good karma to share the knowledge ????
(Translated) Excellent service, clean and friendly atmosphere (Original) Excelente servicio, limpio y ambiente agradable
Great place to go for a swim or take a dip in the hot tub or sauna.
Great rec center with lots of programs and clean facilities.
Bright and newer. Steam room, sauna, hot tub, and a very warm lengths pool. Some people find the lengths pool too warm to effectively do laps, as they overheat.
Easy access. Great classes and friendly, helpful staff
Boring
The gym is good.
Fabulous thankyou
Beautiful rec center and very well maintained. They have a great gym, a large pool for lengths, and another smaller pool for families.
Pool sucks everything else is great
Only pool I find that never turns us away because of the time.
Why drive to Commonwealth or Oak Bay? If you live in Esq. it can't be beat.
Always helpful and a good time. Clean facilities and not too busy.
Cleaner than a lot of other pools in Victoria. Rarely overcrowded and good size hot tub
I come here for the pool mostly. And I can say it's one of my favourites with my young daughter. The kids pool is shallow and warm, nice for really young children / babies. The larger kids pool has a small slide, river rapids feature and round rapid section as well. The pool is not normally swamped with people which is nice. And has a large hot tub as well overlooking the large kids pool. The lane pool also has a small slide, diving board and lanes. One other huge plus is the drop in times. You can come here daily for an everyone welcome swim. It is really a huge bonus accommodates schedules very well.
great Staff awesome equipment and the best kids Waterpark in greater Victoria
Pretty decent sauna/steam rooms
Very friendly staff and lots of drop in program, which are included in a swim pass. Very good day care and programs for children, for seniors , for any age. ...
Solid equipment, well maintained facilities, super low admission price and a decent pool area w hottub steam and sauna. Great for the money
Love the Rec been going there for years!! Had my first PT job there... great place to work and work out!!
Speedskating and workouts
Love this place, I swim here 5 days a week! The water is warm ????
Gym is good and so is the equipment....the star is just because people aren't enforced to use clips...hate seeing people lifting bars with weights above their head with no clips.
I love exploring all the rec centre
Great people, great equipment and great service. What more could anyone ask for? I love coming here.
Love the gym, pool, and classes available. Great staff. Change rooms are bad. Not child friendly and is dirty a lot of the time. Not enough space for the amount of people and groups going through. Especially the family change room.
We like this rec centre, but just needs to be more updat the swimming pool changing rooms.
Great
Terrible smell of chlorine.
It has a big compound for a lots of recreational activities. The toddlers pools are two small compared to Christal pool.
Great facility, often busy though
The best pool in town. Great fitness classes. Good place for events and workshops. Great Christmas market. Good community feel.
Great place clean and very helpful staff.
A great pool for water therapy at lifemark
It's a nice pool, has a fun fast current oil, good for toddlers or people with young children, nice big hot tub. Quite a good pool
Great pool, My kids love going here and swimming in the infinity stream pool. There are also swimming lessons and tons of classes for all ages.
I've been going there for a long time for swimming and the day care they had there when I was young
Gym is decent for a rec center. Steam and dry sauna are good Except not temp regulated. Pool has lanes and theres a hot tub (all chlorinated)
So glad the Rec Centre pool has opened for swimming!
Great place to swim
Great place. Clean with lots of fun stuff to do.
Great pool. Tot pool and larger pool with lots of shallow spots as well as a fun area with a current. Also has a pool for laps and hot tub. There are womens, men's and family change rooms. The rest of the center has a gym, and several rooms used for various programs.
Love this facility - helpful staff and gorgeous pool!
Small but effective local recreation centre; good for children, lap pool becomes quite full. Would give more stars but often you will find people sweating it up in the stream and sauna room, and heading straight to the hot tub or pool before showering, which is absolutely disgusting
Great pool and hot tub!
Worked out here, it was a nice clean gym and had great equipment.
By far my favorite public pool in Victoria. Saltwater lane pool, whirl pool and shallow pool are great if you want to chill, do water aerobics and lane swimming all in the same place!
Staff are friendly and have done well to coordinate the safe reopening if the weight centre during the COVID19 pandemic. I've never felt the weight centre was crowded and they still allow most pieces if equipment to be used.
If you can get in, it is so nice to swim again. Thanks Esquimalt
Great amenities and people. The pop up markets are always a blast with lots of good edibles and crafts. It is like a one stop exercise and shopping extravaganza!
Great rec centre with swimming and gym facilities. Also does lots of programs for all ages.
We visit this pool often when in Victoria. Changerooms are a bit crowded and it is a disappointment that there is no diving from the diving board. Not sure why that is - only pool I have ever seen that at. I believe they use salt for the pool which is not my preference, but not necessarily a bad thing. The kids love the lazy river thing.
Did a work out there for my first time! Great facilities and loved what they have done with the recent updates.
A bit dated but I enjoy the pool.
My son, girlfriend and I frequent the pool here often. The water has the lowest levels of chlorine in Victoria, and is perfectly suited for parents with younger children (I find the accessibility and enjoyment age between 2-13). As for the facilities, I've yet to use many others, but the options are limitless, staff friendly and programs frequent, excellent location!
Gets busy though... Lanes are full. But friendly staff.
Friendly staff and lots of classes and programs to attend! I have yet to have a problem there. There gym is a decent size and there pool is great! More suited for older kids as the kiddy pool is more for infants and there is no good toddler space. I personally recommend any of the drop in fitness classes especially the drop in Yoga!
It’s always closed
Love the place. Pleasant staff and just a good place to relax
Awesome place
Waters warm
Pretty decent gym, at times feels a little small when it is really busy. Overall, good basic array of equipment, 4 squat racks, and bumper plates. Nice crowd of people who both attend, and work at the gym. Sometimes there are "classes" held in the gym space which can be a bit difficult to work around, but overall it's a nice space and good place to work out.
Always clean with a wonderfully polite staff.
Good swimming pool. Includes steam room, sauna, and hot tub. Has a kiddy pool, a lazy river, and a fast spinning pool.
Was there for a social event. Looked around. Nice facility.
The staff are great. However there are signs in the Sauna and Steam room restricting 3/2 users. The users are disobeying and I brought it up 3-4 times to staff to no avail. Even left my email address. No response after 24 hours. Wow. A sign up sheet outside the steam room and Sauna would fix this issue. This is called being proactive. Will follow up with health authority.
Great place to recharge; go for a swim.
It has everything I need training wise, pool and hot tub and sauna are great
I love the Esquimalt pool. Great 11:30 a.m life guards. My only beef is. The same people have gotten into the only water walking lane every 11:30 spot. None of the patrons can figure out how this is happening. They need to rotate those spots during Covid.
Was at Gymnasium..cool place
Nice pool, but needs better signage/Braille for vision impaired persons. Family friendly rec centre, but needs some more attention to cleaning during peak hours.
Great place to meet new people very clean and great pool to swim
great big warm kids pool - no waterslide
This is a wonderful place to workout and swim too as well as a whole host of other stuff to do and it supports our community. I would say the only downside is that it is almost always busy. Parking can be a challenge and the pool needs to get bigger
Great amenities, warm people. Great kids programs
Friendly, clean, spacious.
The Esquimalt Rec Centre is incredible. The adult swimming pool is often the perfect temperature and the gym facilities are clean and well maintained. Members of our staff visit this rec centre frequently!
Best swimming pool for small children.
nice staff
I love going here with my grandchildren
Great gym but need more waterslides!
Great pool, decent gym, great staff, and lots of fun events going on often.
Great place
Nice
Great staff, good facility.
Great warm pool. Wonderful staff. Clean!
Salted water pools plus, whirlpool and hot tub ✌????
Great pool and lovely staff.
Enjoyed the lazy river.
One of the best gyms ive gone to. Plenty of equipment, and not overcrowded outside of peak hours. Staff are extremely friendly and the facilities are clean. Drop in is only $2 after 9 on weekdays and its hard to beat that price! That goes double for a gym of this quality!
Best pool in town!
Great place to take your kids! Very affordable
Pools a little small, but the staff were incredible and the price is very accessible. Great community facility!
It's a great place to come work out, swim, take a class. I thoroughly recommend visiting.
Great programs and staff, great pool, could use more family change rooms
Awesome pool for the family, our toddler LOVES this place (especially the whirlpool) ????
(Translated) More activities (Original) 活動多
There are so many regular events as well as things like the Farmer's Market in the winter, craft shows, photography shows, you name it. it's a great asset to the community.
This place is great!! I love working out here. My only complaint is that some of the lockers in the men's change room smell like feces. This is more of the public's fault than the staff
Good price for drop ins
Good for gym and swimming!
Terrific programs, great staff and top notch facilities.
Clean
Fantastic community center with great gym equipment and setup.
The rec center has a good size gym and a great pool. They also offer many types of classes and even group events. On most nights,except for Saturday's, at 9 pm they have two dollar adult swim. The cheap swim goes from 9 to 1030 which gives you plenty of time for swimming and you don't feel rushed to leave the pool. The hot tub is large and always at a good temperature. They also have a steam room and and a sauna.
spacious clean facilities. most enjoy this pool in town.
Good
This is my favourite rec Center in town!
Great place to swim and have fun with family.. Good pool but crowded with kids.. has gym and sauna, steam room as well.. Take a swimming lesson, if you need it..
Fantastic. Amazing. Best aquatics program for young kids. Love the staff. Love the programs. Love the price.
No diving for diving board
Clean place
Love this place
Great rec center with lots to do
After Covid its up and down on stuff open.
They didn't let us play fight kind of a bummer:/
Great staff. Pickleball facilitator is fair and helpful. Courts can be a little lose to the walls on the outside. Need to watch out you don't knock into a wall.
Friendly people with clean welcoming facility.
Best swimming pool in Victoria if you've got a young family
Love the water quality!!! Hot tub and steam room is wonderful and lower chlorine. Very clean facilities and thankfully, they do have a family change room as well
Good venue for Family Day. Lots of fun had by everyone!
It's ok.
Friendly staff, clean and not crowded.
10/10 all the way. Been taking swim lessons and summer camps here since I was 3 years old. Very good swim facility, gym, lacrosse box and more! :)
Esquimalt Rec is our centre of choice for everything! The facility is clean, the staff here is always so friendly and helpful, and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences with swimming lessons, swimming, summer camps, and a wide selection of kids classes such as cooking and sewing and glee club. The play and water park is also wonderful and we often enjoy time there. A side bonus is the Esquimalt Farmers Market which operates indoors during the yucky months and nearby at Memorial Park during the summer months!
Nice place to swim/exercise
Lots of fun playing drop-in volleyball
Very nice place, my 6year old take swimming lessons their, the staff is very friendly.
Clean, friendly, and reasonably priced! My go to as far as gym going goes! Plus, who can say no to adult swim night, saunas, hot tubs & classes!
Best gym and pool around. They have a bunch of other stuff too but I don't know much about that.
This is my happy place. It's where I got to ensure I will have a great sleep, boost my immune system, decrease stress and relax me entirely. Staff are friendly, the pool is clean, hot tub is hot with strong jets and the sauna and steam room are great. I love it here.
Standard rec center. Hockey, curling etc. General fitness.
Such a fun pool and friendly staff.
Great clean gym. Hottub sauna and steamroon always running and clean. Very friendly staff
It is clean with friendly staff
I absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Great programs and various exercise machines to choose from for cardio.
I have had membership there for 5 years and love the place. Great people, and a great facility
Always hot water in the showers. Hate cold showers
I came here with my girlfriends and an infant and it was great! It was not busy when we were there which was wonderful and we had the whirlpool all to ourselves! The hot tub was great, very hot and the baby pool was lovely as well.
Really appreciate the ease of booking and enjoying the pool during covid times
Nice gym quiet not may people
End of season doggy swim was super fun.
Great gym, warm pool
Good amount of machines and space for a workout
Nice swimming package and numerous activities to do. I went there for swimming. I thought the water will be cold but nah, it was warm to my perfection. Also the receptionists are very nice.
Love this place! such a good pool and day camp for the kids is affordable and fun
Taking a Learn to Swim for a triathlete class and it is perfect
Definitely our favorite rec center in the CRD. We love the river pools and how kids friendly this one is.
Nice clean facilities. Friendly Staff.
Nice lunch gathering for seniors including a play from the grade three class at Macaulay school for Christmas!
Drowned
Can be a little busy but great place, friendly staff at reception.. love that they sell swimming diapers
This rec center really has it all. Wish we lived closer!
My favourite rec centre because the pool is warm, they have that lazy river and whirlpool and the use the least amount of chlorine. I think it uses UV and salt instead.
The pool is great, staff are excellent and the word is starting August 3rd we'll be back to normal activities with no reservations required.
This is truly a great family facility. My family is very lucky to have it so close to our home
THEY wont let us dive off the diving board
Great facility
Great facility
Family orientated. Gym not too "Bro".
I really love this gym. It's clean, spacious, and well maintained. Major props to whoever decided to set up the Rogue Rack - having the space for four squat racks that can become any number of other bar setups is awesome. Very rarely have to wait for equipment. Was pleased to see they recently acquired a hex bar! I don't use machines often but I do find there are a few absent I would like - a prone/lying leg curl machine is one. I can dream!
This place has everything to empower mentally and physically. Very knowledgeable staff
Best Rec gym in town. Hot steam and sauna rooms. Great staff.
Facility is new bright and clean. Saltwater pool is warm. Lots of options for classes.
It's just ok. Never have the big slide or diving board open. More geared toward seniors and aqua fit
We'll run lots of programs, nice pool and gym
The pool is the warmest in the area. Never swam in one consistent warm before this. The gym is good for aerobic and weights.
Great gym Terrible pool(sanitary wise). I ve gotten infected like 2/3 times that i ve been in the pool
It's my second home... nice friendly staff & coaches. Love Loraine, Cheryl, Tatum and Eugene's laugh! The facility is top notch and clean all over!
Not a very clean pool.
Great classes and pool.
Great public pool facility! Close drive from downtown and on bus routes
Family fun skating, swimming, soft salt water pool, car shows, amusements galore, esp Buccaneer days carnival
Staff was excellent and facilities are awesome but some of the other male users are very up tight about nudity. I choose to air dry after showering. I guess it's frowned upon.
Fun pool with the kids. Kids always love going around and around the "ice cream cone"
For $29 a month: gym, pool, skating rink. Amazing!
Great hours, great rates, great equipment, helpful staff, this is what a gym should be.
Nice facilities. Relaxing atmosphere.
First time going swimming here since covid started. They have signage everywhere stating you need to show proof of vaccinations but no body asked us or the 3 other people that went in before us. I personally didnt like this.
It's a very clean and modern facility. Has almost everything: a gym, swimming pool, basketball court, a large field. Only thing missing is a skating rink. Also love that it hosts the annual Japanese Cultural Fair.
They have revamped their gym and have all the amenities needed for any sort of fitness. Pool. Bikes. Court. Weights. Bars. I bring my son all the time.
Awesome staff and has everything you need.
Good local pool hidden away...warm water...upgraded facilities...
It is good to see improvements since I was last there. Back then it was a gong show, staff less than enthused, facility in less than stellar condition, not open to change. Keep moving forward.
Well run center with helpful staff. Clean change rooms.
One of the best kids pools around. Love the high-powered jets that spin you round and round an island.
This place is awesome. Decent price. Hot Hot tub. Very hot Wet sauna. Dry suana. Whirpool. Just an all around great rec centre
You usually don't have to wait for equipment staff are friendly and helpful.
Very clean, decent amount of equipment and free weights.
It is a great center.
Relaxing
Filthy change rooms compared to other like facilities. Water slide impacts length swimming lane
Annoying and unprofessional weight room staff member.
nice
to visit
I went to Esquimalt rrc center to play pickleball. They have a small gym with only two courts. They have a call--in reservation system which limits number of players and ensures that everyone gets in several games. Afterwards, i went for a hot tub and dip in the pool. It's a very good facility with friendly and helpful staff.
Staff are always friendly and helpful, and they have the best summer camps! Facility is clean and well maintained.
Great rec center with nice folks
Great place and amazing staff
My boyfriend, step son and I love this pool.
Great facility, it is clean and bright. The pool is great place to spend the afternoon. They have a sauna, steam room and hot tub and a decent sized kids area for the family to splash around. The morning aqua fit classes are always packed and have a bubbly instructor bouncing around teaching them. Worth checking out if your looking for a good local rec centre!!!
Awesome
Lifemark physiotherapy is fantastic
Great gym friendly staff!
Went to the indoor pool: facilities were clean. Lane swim, whirlpool pool, children's pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room all available. Price is not expensive: $5.75 For adult drop in.
Great place to work out
Lots of programs and services but equipment could use a serious update.
Great place to work out and swim.
The water is warm and the employees are friendly and helpful
Everything went well. Enjoyed my time.
My daughter's and I went swimming here. It was a great price, the whole building was clean including the change rooms and showers. I do wish it was more infant friendly.. like maybe a change table in the change room and a couple toys in the kiddie pool. But over all was a fun afternoon
Great affordable programs
Great pool! Good for family swims. Friendly, helpful, staff and nice facilities! Love to take my daughter swimming here!
Fun ????
This rec centre is amazing. It's clean and well thought out. Many programs are offered by excellent staff. The addition of the new outdoor water park is lovely!
The swimming pool is great for families. There are lots of programs as well as plenty of time set aside for general use in the pools. The water is warm too, especially in the smaller, more kids friendly pool.
I was at the Physio therapy and I am SO IMPRESSED with the service there!! The physio therapist is Mark Dale and I would highly recommend him!!
Is a fun place
Great pool. The best water aerobics instructors.
We have so much fun as a family:) Thankyou :)
Love Esquimalt recreation ❤
Like the twoonie adult swim. Pool area too cold. Steam room up and down. A lot of gym equipment doesn't work well. Wish there was WiFi. Could be better with a few little fixes
My and the Mrs will drive 2 hours from Victoria to hit this place up. That should give you an idea on how impressed we are with the facilities. The slides are enjoyable, and the cold pool is a great contrast to the others in the area. Full wave pool, high board, large sauna and steam room. Can't be beat.
Great place to work out, sauna pool and fun slide with diving board and restance river
Great pool, great staff.
Best and cheapest for a years pass
Clean, good energy.
Its ok
Half of the glute machines are up stairs and half are downstairs.. like why? But cheep for drop in. Not the best gym tho
Best swimming classes.
Nice to see that after 10 years of coming here on and off it's still a good pool and hot tub. Free weight section has always seemed small but everybody is polite so it's ok.
What a great facility! Plenty of equipment in the gym, and it’s very clean. I’ve heard the pool is fantastic, although I haven’t gotten the chance to use that portion of the facility yet. All the staff are super friendly and it’s always a pleasure to go! Parking is also great, haven’t run into an issue (when I have taken my car) finding a parking spot. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
Great Zumba, fun pool area, the water slide is great as well.
Pretty good rec centre and gym, kind of lacking in size, but it has everything you need for a good workout. I prefer Steve Nash though
The water park is such a great addition.... Family's can now enjoy everything...
The equipment is older and there's not a lot of machines to choose from, but it has everything you need. I really quite enjoy their current covid set up and the staff is great!
Spacious gym, lots of equipment and very friendly staff ????????????
Awesome environment
Good clean fun
It's always been a very good workout, great facilities.
Love the warm pool and friendly stafg
Love this facility and staff but have had an on going issue with the sauna which is never even close to being hot. Nobody uses it and it seems rather pointless having a sauna that barely produces a sweat. The steam room fortunately works well but for only a minute or two out 15. There have been ongoing issues with both of these pool facilities going back before Covid days. Are they trying to save money on heating bills? You would think after a year and a half being shut down they could have figured this out by now.
Swam there a few times and it was great, well maintained and nice and clean. Nice amenities and lovely and helpful staff. One year at Christmas they let dogs swim in the pool. We brought a golden retriever called Lily, she didn’t like it but I loved the spectacle of it. It was magnificent.
Friendly staff, lots of programs for all age groups and the Facility is ultra modern.
Great Public Pool! Four different pools (3 and a hotub) with varying temperatures of water! Lifeguards are professional and vigilant. Highly recommend this place.
Great pool and lovely staff
Swimming lessons are great for mom and dad to swim too
Dirty
excellent atmosphere
Excellent amenities great value
One of the better pools in Victoria I like it because the water temperature is warmer than Commenwealth pool or Crystal or Gordon Head not as large though
Great service
Awesome place and has it all
excellent
My sons are currently taking swimming lessons throught the Esqimalt Recreation Centre and the young teachers that they use are truly great! My wife and I can see how much they love teaching children. The pool is one of the better ones for the region. I only gave it four out of five stars, as it is starting to become a little dirty.(The pool area) The recreational centre has a great gym area and lots to do for the whole family. In the summer outside is the Esquimalt family water park. A must see if you have not been to it yet, plus it is free! A big parking lot but always full.
Gorgous sceanery whats not to like
Great Rec Center. New equipment in the gym and large shallow pool for kids plus average swimming lanes.
Lots of amenities for the whole family
Very helpfull receptionist.
Beautiful center, very modern, open and bright. Family change rooms include private locking rooms with showers. Helpful friendly staff.
My favorite place to workout and then enjoy the pool and hot tub.
Very family friendly and everything you need for your gym workout????
Well organized. Wonderful instructor. Staff friendly. Clean Covid ready
Great facility and classes. Clean, nice people and lots of parking.
I go swimming pool and safety is good and Sarah can THC me swimming liss
Steam room and sauna are awesome &the weight room is clean as well are the change room's
Solid pool decent gym, have not had a problem doing what I need to do.
Love it
Our kids have been taking swimming lessons. The instructors are wonderful.
Awesome pool and facilities. Brand new water park. Great programs for seniors and children.
Love working and doing the machines and free weights, then heading to a drop in class or the pool! Super convenient and has free parking !
Clean and modern facility. Friendly staff. One of the better pools in Victoria.
Beautiful mordern facilities with very friendly and welcoming staff. There are lots and lots of sport and craft opportunities and a comfy lounge to sit and relax.
Good
Was spacious, warm, cozy, lots of room to swim laps, and tied for my favorite pool in town
Clean, modern, friendly
Late night swim is the best can't beat it
Great place! Warm pool water for arthritic joints. Pleasant people, both staff and public.
lazy river was too lazy :/
Dirtiest change rooms in town. And it's not just mud, it's used diapers, feces, personal hygiene products. Watch your head and elbows in the shower, they have sharp metal soap dishes protruding from the wall right at the shower heads. I injured myself badly and reported it years ago, but they remain in place. I also suggested the simple solution of blunting/rounding the metal edges, which doesn't appear to have been attempted. Front desk staff and aquatics staff are awesome though. It's the facility maintenance that brings the place down.
I came here for the fitness centre upon moving to Victoria. People here are super friendly and welcoming.
