Annual Pool Maintenance Closure June 1 to July 1
Pools require annual maintenance to extend the life of the facilities and to minimize unexpected closures. Each year, we schedule temporary closures of the pools and wet areas so that the water can be drained in order to complete this work.
The annual Sechelt pool maintenance closure will start on Sunday, June 1 and end on Tuesday, July 1. Here’s what you can expect during this time:
- The pool, wet areas and change rooms will be closed and will re-open on Wednesday, July 2.
- The weight room and fitness studio will be open, except on three Sundays: June 15, 22 and 29, when the whole facility (pool, wet areas, weight room and fitness studio) will be closed.
Between June 1 and July 1, there will be two other pools and two other weight rooms available:
- Pools: Gibsons Pool and Pender Harbour Aquatic & Fitness Centre
- Weight rooms: Gibsons Community Centre and Pender Harbour Aquatic & Fitness Centre

Swim Lesson Registration Guidelines
What you need to know before you register your child for swim lessons.
To help provide fair access to swim lessons, participants may enroll for only ONE swimming lesson set per season and must meet the required prerequisites for their selected swim level.
If you are unsure about your swim level, contact us to arrange a swim assessment to ensure you are enrolling in the correct level.
The SCRD reserves the right to withdraw participants who register for swim lessons without meeting the guidelines. Once a customer is withdrawn, it is final.
