Acadia Aquatic & Fitness Centre

Pros - Has some great programs - love Conditioning Swim! Redone with all new tile - looks great. The staff are fantastic and always willing to talk to you about any concerns. Super friendly!

Cons - I wish there were hooks in the bathroom stalls. No hot tub. Parking can be INSANE when the school has an evening event. Even worse in the winter.

I am a fan of this pool! Nothing fancy but it does the trick for my workouts.

Thank you to the most amazing lifeguard here today. Her name is Erin.
I will surely go for more classes. Clean, orderly and it is salt water.

I know this is one of the old pools in Calgary, my kids used to go here for swimming lessons. But when I visited this pool last week I was surprised with how amazing it looks. The staff was very helpful and pool was nicely renovated.

This pool has been closed for 2 years. Is there a management here? It looks like everyone has abandoned this place.

Absolutley disgusting, no room to even move when lessons are in progress. I have talked to several different life guards and they are all extremely rude. I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE.

It ain't fancy but good enough for a small community fitness center.
Nice warm, salt water lane pool, great for swimming lessons.
Weight room is small with older equipment but never crowded and good enough for a quick work out.

My daughters first day ever swimming lesson. I pick this place because of the positive review from a friend even though its out of our way. We were so looking forward to it but for some reason she was terrified so they let me sit with her. As I was trying to calm her down, she walked to the other side of the pool as I followed her, the lifeguard approached us and she said talking straight to my daughter and said either you go back to your swimming lesson as you still have 15 mins remaining which she only actually spent like 2 mins in that pool, or seat and just watch, otherwise it’s time to go! My thought was like okay that’s was harsh! Went back to the other side where another disappointed mom was trying to calm her daughter. So for her to get closer to the pool she grabbed these little floaty and threw some of it to the pool. Then same lifeguard came to her again talked to my 3 years old daughter like an adult. All I heard from her was you can’t do this you can’t do that! No sympathy at all! And that’s it were Done! Wasted our day and paid something we didn’t even use. So disappointed! We went straight to the reception cancelled all our remaining lessons.

My grandson takes swimming lessons here. I have recently moved into the area so I will be using the facilities

4 stars because of the small-ish shower space (southland has bigger shower space). But teachers are great!

Go fifteen minutes before each class so you avoid the rush of previous class and early enough for your class so you don't have to stand in line too long for the showers/ changing stalls. It's affordable. But with that, comes no extras. Practical, no luxury. Trainers are awesome. Pool well kept. Bathrooms / toilets sometimes broken so do the needful before coming. Lol

I have taken my kids ton1 swimming lesson, but after these lessons I wont be returning. The come and go for swimming lessons channels through the change areas and they keep.the pool entrances gated off until lesson start/end time. Problem is, the line up is in the shower area of the change rooms. Ever want to sympathize with feel cattle in a chute? Try Acadia. The ladies working there lack any sort of customer experience education. My biggest complaint is the claustrophobia getting your kids to and from their lessons. We wont be coming back

This is a nice facility. The staff are awesome! Very friendly, informative, warm and professional. The exercise gym area belongs to the adjacent high school, but I was all alone at the time I went. Some machines are old, but still in decent shape. There are lots of free weights and a few benches to use. The swimming pool is pretty good. The lane swim can be busy, but most of the patrons are elderly and friendly. The water is the best part since they use a mix which includes salt water. There is no hot tub or sauna though, which in part is why they're a tier one facility. Overall, a good place to exercise.
