Steam Room Closure Update

The steam room is closed until further notice due to a critical failure. Staff have determined what is required to repair it and the funding to make it possible. The procurement process for the repair is underway. Our goal is to have it repaired as soon as possible but it is unlikely to be during the annual maintenance closure. Thank you for your understanding.

This year, the annual pool maintenance closure will take place Sunday, May 26 to July 1, re-opening on July 2.  A large part of the work being done this year will be the long-awaited, important replacement of fire suppression sprinklers. In order to do this work, the entire facility, including the weight room and fitness studio will be closed to the public. If the weight room and fitness studio can open earlier, before the pool and wet area work is completed, we will notify the public. Thank you for your patience.

During the closure at Sechelt Aquatic Centre, there will be two other pools and two other weight rooms available:

Pools open between May 26 and June 29 (facilities closed on July 1, Canada Day Statutory Holiday)

Weight rooms open between May 26 and June 29 (facilities closed on July 1, Canada Day Statutory Holiday)

Pools require annual maintenance to extend the life of the facilities and to minimize unexpected closures. We schedule planned, temporary closures of the pools to complete this work each year. The annual maintenance closures at SCRD pools are scheduled so that only one pool is closed while the other two pools are open and available.

  • Leisure pool
  • Lazy River
  • Hot tub
  • Sauna
  • Steam Room
  • Water Slide, Rope Swing, Climbing wall (opening is dependent on staff availability)

  • When you are finished using dumbells in SCRD weight rooms, please clean and return them to the racks in order of weight.
  • When visiting SCRD weight rooms, please use the sign-up board for cardio equipment.
  • Please remember to wipe down the equipment with the provided sanitizing solution before and after you have used it.
  • SCRD weight rooms are scent free zones.

SCRD staff will be seeking to better understand how patrons use the three pools on the Sunshine Coast. This information will help inform future planning. During this time, patrons visiting Sechelt Aquatic Centre will be asked if they are using the pool during their visit. This may take a few extra seconds when you check in for each visit. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

The SCRD will not be collecting any additional personal information other than what is normally already collected for enrollment in registered programs and when patrons purchase passes.
