Why the YAWA Aquatic Centre stands out
Among the pools we came across in December 2023, this center stood out for having a variety of pools and temperatures to choose from. The Facility Notes in the listing describe the options.
The center's own website is just as helpful. It describes the pools fully, with dimensions, including depths, and water temperatures.
A website that answers swimmers' questions
The website also publishes a schedule. It shows when the main pool runs in long-course format and when it is set up in short-course format. It shows how many lanes are available to the public during each hour of the day, and even when the pool is unavailable because the layout is being changed.
These are the basic details we look for when we compile a listing, and they are not always easy to find.
