Excellent multifonction venue

Absolutely lovely place for everything!
I mostly go here for food, as it's pretty close to the school i go to.

But when I've gone here for swimming, it always ends up very memorable! the only issue I've had with swimming is the slide sometimes ends up not being wet enough.

The skating here is just fine, Im personally not a big of skating, but it was pretty enjoyable.

Extremely disappointed in the aquatics side of things. My daughter passed swimmer 3 in the spring, registered her in swimmer 4 in the fall. Only to find out come the end of the swimming lessons she somehow failed swimmer 3 that she’s previously passed and wasn’t even supposed to be in again. Her first swimmer 3 instructor (Noah I believe) was great. Very interactive with the kids in the water with them offering individual help. The next swimming instructor was far from that. She didn’t get in the water with the kids, didn’t care to help them pay attention and would leave them at opposite ends of the pool instead of engaging and helping. She also failed my daughter in swimmer 3 that she wasn’t supposed to be in. Since then I have been trying to get in touch with someone about the error in her registration to correct it before spring lessons. I have contacted them 3 times since the beginning of December only to be repeatedly told the aquatics supervisor will call me back. This has not happened. Even going in there in person I was not able to get the issue resolved. Just tried calling again only to be told the supervisor is busy in the water….. apparently for 2 months and counting. After this experience, it would almost be easier to travel to Medicine Hat for a better experience and hopefully better instructors. Very frustrating to spend the money on lessons she already did only to get no recognition/ solution for their mistake.

The pool facility is excellent. There’s a lane pool, a warm kiddie pool, a big water slide and a lazy river. Lots of options for swimming lessons too

To beat the heat while camping at Kinbrook Island, we thought we’d check out the JBS Centre swimming pool, and we were glad we did! Came with myself and my two girls (8&5), and there was plenty to do for all swimming levels. Great shallow pool, with warm water, a lazy river, and fun water features. The deep pool had a diving board and offered lane swim. Facilities were clean and staff were friendly. My only complaint was the open shower area - I’d much prefer to have a private shower after swimming. All and all, a good experience.

My toddler loves going to pool, but overall I despise it. Every time we go, the family change rooms reek of urine. Last time we went we literally had people climb over the floaty were using with my toddler and almost pulled her under and nothing was said by the life guard but definitely was by me. They need to have a limit of how many people can be in the pool as it gets very crowded and the need to clean the change rooms in the family area more often.

Love the swimming pool here with the lane pool, a fun pool that turns into a wave pool, a lazy river, a water slide, and a hot tub.

I have been working out at this facility for years. It hasn't had the most up to date equipment, but it has had everything needed to obtain a nice physique. Recently, the facility upgraded some of their equipment. Idk who authorized this ridiculous upgrade as the old equipment was even better than this new multi station. I really wish that the facility staff who clearly don't spend much time in the gym, would have asked some of us that go there daily - what would make the gym better. Instead, they decided to spend money on cheap equipment that is less than two weeks old and is already showing signs of failure. Maybe someone should have done some basic research or better yet visited an upgraded facility for ideas. Anyways. Do better brooks. Do better. End rant
