I take my kids swimming here the other day and we all had a fabulous time! We enjoy going to the fun swim, because they have water works for the kiddies. Its absolutely perfect for all ages including parents. They have a large slide that my older kids enjoy and a hot tub for myself and hubby! Will be bringing them back soon! Thanks for the kindness from all staff????

Adam “Draznar” Goode

I like the facilities here and the staff are friendly. Rating 4 stars because the lockers in the family change room don't work very well. With small children excited to go swimming, this causes problems very quickly.

Kyle Hobbs

Decent place but I remember we when I was in high school all the kids were banned from going there for like a day and then they took the ban away. I guess because the high school students made up of 80% of their profit

Mariah Kapeluk

Really annoyed with this facility. Multiple times I’ve visited and each and every time it takes over a half an hour and a dozen quarters to find a locker that will actually lock up my belongings. Yes I could bring a lock, but when it’s something planned last minute you don’t think of that. When I arrived I had an hour to swim, I changed into my swim suit, went to lock my belongings up as well as my families and the locker didn’t lock.. so I go up and ask for another quarter, tried a different locker and same situation 4 times. To the point where they sent someone to help me get a locker to work.. still nothing. I say “ok I’ll just get a refund if that’s possible no point on going out there for 15 minutes if we even get a locker to work” she proceeds to tell me that the front won’t give her another quarter. Soooo then you expect me to keep the locker unlocked with my belongings including 3 cell phones, 3 wallets and an Apple Watch? Seems smart in south Oshawa of all places. So I get dressed and head to the front where I tell the lady that was giving me the quarters in the first place that I’ll just get a refund like I told the lady that was helping me. “Sorry we don’t do refunds here” sorry? You don’t do what? Your lockers aren’t working and I’ve now wasted 30 minutes of my time trying to get one to work for you to tell me that I can’t get any more quarter even though the locker should have worked the first time around and didn’t. So now I can’t get a refund for something that I paid with full intention of doing but can’t because YOUR lockers won’t lock properly. Seems right. “All we can offer is a rain check” oh great, for me to come back to deal with the exact same issue all over again. Sounds fun. Also not worth it from me to drive from out of town to come back. To which I explain all of this and still say that’s all you can do. Good thing I got the managers information cause I’m not done with this yet — especially with it not being the first time this has happened. ✌????

Jennifer Hineman

Friendly staff. Great pool

Swimming pool is very good, great for families, the showers are too hot. I also used the gym and it's decent.

Nancy Ferris

Great place

Adina Harper

We love this pool! Great for families and people of all ages and of many swimming abilities. Family changerooms are always clean. Only issue are sometimes the lockers eat your quarters - but common issue at all Oshawa Rec Centres.

Seward71

Beautiful facility! Friendly staff.

Sis Bickerton

Was there for election and checking on a pool wheelchair they do have

Stephen Belak

It is a marvel of a building. Swimming pool is awesome. The staff are great. The workout area has all the necessities

Laura Barrett

Beautiful pool and helpful staff. Change rooms have limited access and lockers are off limits at this time due to COVID-19. I have been to this pool for lane swim a few times but the last time I went a couple of weeks ago there was a strange smell in and around the one end of the pool in particular.

Sandra Marlene

My favorite indoor pool.

Reg Piper

Excellent swimming for all types of swimmers

Dan Brammer

The pool is fantastic, the overall usefulness of the facility is great, but the gyms are so old, very much in dire need of a renovation. Even the entry into them take a back narrow stairway into what feels like a basement. We were there for the floor hockey program which I would prefer they operate of of the much newer Legends facility. Enrolment is low there, but it wouldn't be at Legends.

jeanette cave

A great place my Grandkids love to Swim .If they are happy then i am happy :)

neil richardson

I used to come to this place all the time. I used to live right beside this place when I rented an apartment right up the street. The vending machines were my salvation. For a few months, I lived solely from sustenance absorbed from overpriced Gatorade and stale Swedish Berries and Wunderbars. The pool here is also amazing. They have three individual sections, if I remember right, but don't quote me on that. One of the sections has a deep, Olympic shaped pool. Olympic shaped, but not sized. It is actually pretty small for a community centre, but this community is supported by people named Ethel and Marjorie, and the pool can be frequently found with arthritis stricken seniors performing slow motion stretching techniques that their daughter in law found on Tumblr and assured them would work. These seniors look like an assortment of semi-roasted marshmallows at a boy scouts sleep over, with the preemie-pink and periwinkle blue bathing caps glistening in the artificial halogen lightening. It can be difficult to drown out the sound of breaking bones, cracking joints, and cursing of daughter-in-laws, emanating from the zombie horde of 85 year old seniors, most of who are seeking more relieve than the over-prescribed OxyContin they secretly take with a 6 oz scotch every morning , can alleviate. Drowning them out can be a challenge, but the super-awesome-when-you-were-younger-but-kinda-sucks-as-an-adult water slide can help distract from the synchronised verbalization of inflammation. The slide looks amazing, made from what I am assuming is some type of fibre glass and plastic polymer. There is water, and it does allow you to slide, so the water slide description is valid. The corkscrew design would accelerate the slider to maximum velocity if it was longer, but two turns just wouldn't do it. Children seem to really love this slide, but they also love under-sized, purple, polyester, singing and dancing dinosaurs, and pieces of bubble-wrap, so you can draw your own conclusions from that. The lack-lustre slide drops you into a shallow pool that seems to be at least 7 degrees warmer than the zombie-hoard excersize pool. I am praying this is due to the proximity to the commercial pool heater, and not due to the expulsion of urine and possibly liquified faecal matter by frightened or untrained children. Beside the drop-off zone of the slide, there is a second pool. It seems to be somewhat square, and quite warm. Again, I am hoping that the heater is close by and very powerful, considering option 2 included human waste.. This pool varies from a very shallow wading pool, and has a slow gradient, eventually becoming deeper. I am assuming this part is for children, because even the deep end remains shallow.. The best part of the pool is the wave circle. I'm not sure what this is called, but it is a circle of water, about 5 feet across, with a solid island in the centre. It has some sort of machine that creates a powerful current, and violently pushes you around the circle, dependant on physical size. I say dependant on size, because I have been pleasantly guided around this circle before, in a pleasant forward motion, with the current creating an artificial masseuse deeply massaging my shoulders and spine. On the other hand, however, I have seen children being violently thrown forward and upward, flying as if Iron Man just landed a perfect shot on them, with his chest-mounted direct energy weapon. Parental supervision is advised. The centre is reasonably priced and staffed with very friendly and helpful people. The pool and the centre in general is very well kept and clean. Actually, I was very impressed with the cleanliness, and the upbeat vibe of the place. The centre is attached to a high school, so occasionally you will encounter a pimple-faced teenager with a god complex, but other than that, this is an enjoyable and family-friendly place. Highly recommended. AAAA++++++++++++

Pierre Perreault

Because I go there lol

Chris d

Children running around unattended by adults playing with the showers. Hanging off the railings and standing on benches in the change room... staff unable or not will to do anything about it. As well as the numours bandaids on the floor and the lockers that are hungry for my change. Family friendly indeed. South oshawas finest. Edit. I'm sorry to the fine pool staff and maintenance team. You're both doing great, I have visited again and I prefer to think I just came at a bad time because my experiences at your facility have been great. Thanks
