Jasper Fitness & Aquatic Centre is a well-known public swimming pool and gym located in Jasper, offering a range of facilities and programs for residents and visitors. The Aquatic Centre features a 25-meter pool, with depths ranging from 1. 2 meters to 4. 5 meters.
During lane swim time, six lanes are available for swimmers, while one lane is open for recreational swim. The centre also has a wading pool for children aged 0-5, with boats, balls, and water toys to make their experience enjoyable and safe.
One of the highlights of Jasper Fitness & Aquatic Centre is the water slide, installed in 2019. In addition to recreational use, the catch pool at the end of the slide is also used by clients rehabilitating from injuries for stretching and exercises. To ensure the safety of all visitors, the centre has a Facility Swim Test consisting of three parts that need to be completed by children before they are allowed into the water without a guardian.
The centre offers swimming lessons for different age groups and levels, following the Lifesaving Society's Swim for Life structure. The Parent & Tot program is designed for parents or caregivers to bond with their children in the water, while the Preschool and Swimmer programs focus on building water skills and learning swimming strokes. There are different levels within each program to cater to varying abilities.
Visitors can purchase memberships and register for programs online through the centre's website or by contacting them via phone or email. The Jasper Fitness & Aquatic Centre is currently closed for renovations as part of the Jasper Recreation Facilities Renovation Project. Community members can stay updated on programs and activities by checking out the Program Catalogue or visiting the centre's social media pages.
