Pool Schedules
POOL CLOSURE NOTICE
Work has begun on the aquatics facility in the Christenson Family Centre for Sport and Wellness to bring the pool up to current mechanical, air-handling and lighting standards. As a result, the pool and hot tub will be temporarily closed until January 2013.
The work on the pool will bring it up to current mechanical, lighting, and air-handling standards. As a result, the bulk of the ongoing work will be largely out of sight. Though there will not be a lot of visible upgrades, the retrofit of the pool is a necessity in order to continue serving our users at the highest level.
In order to facilitate access to the pool’s mechanical room during the retrofit, part of the fitness centre will be closed. This will result in some of our fitness equipment being moved to Room 8-218.
For our aquatic users, we recognize the inconvenience this retrofit may bring, and are offer Information Sessions and Group Orientations in April to help Find Your Fit. Complimentary program designs are still available for our aquatic users, where a personal trainer will meet with you, go over your goals, then set up and take you through a custom program.
Alternatively, we are offering an extended freeze, at no cost, for the duration of the pool closure. No re-enrollment fee will be charged and you will receive a membership bonus for returning within 30 days of the pool reopening.
Program Design
Sport and Wellness invites pool enthusiasts to take this opportunity to meet and work with our Fitness and Lifestyle Consultants one-on-one. Our consultants will create a customized program to meet your health and wellness needs transitioning from the pool to dry-land exercise, including cardiovascular, resistance, flexibility and core stability activities. This is our way of saying thank you for using our pool and for staying with MacEwan through these renovations.
Register for your two sessions (1 x 30 min, 1 x 1 hr) at the Access Desk. Registration is complimentary, and appointments are scheduled to fit your calendar.
