Great idea for keeping a whole family entertained. It's large with an outdoor pool/splash pad, and inside there is a wading pool, lazy river, hot tub and lap pool. If you want to avoid school trips I'd say go around 2-3:00. I really love spending the day here. It would be cool to go in the winter when you need that boost! read more

Steinbach Aquatic Centre - Swimming Pools Near Me - Steinbach, Manitoba

It's full most of times. Winnipegers love it ... so local rate payers can't get in. It closes for part of the day so you have to go out and pay again to get in. The facility itself is ok. But lessons be sure to be on top of it. My son had to redo because there were 2 kids that couldn't go into the deep end so the entire class failed. I asked 3 days before the end and was told due to safety of the 2 the rest of the class couldn't be tested. I said just send him to the deep end. He can do it. "Sorry, they have to be tested more then one time " well, they had 10 classes ... and 3 more days. But nope. There's a waste of time and money. Where I wanted to shove that whistle!!?? read more

Took my family here for a Saturday swim and was pleasantly surprised. The aquatic centre was slightly smaller than I am used to but inside was a fun-filled and exciting place for our child to explore and discover his aquatic abilities. The family change rooms we're clean, despite all of our snowy boots and jackets all piled at the front door and the staff were very friendly. All and all a pleasant place to take a child (or children) for a weekly outing, with a walk-in/beach entry and a lazy river to swim through. My only suggestion would be to have more toys and some child life-jackets available. read more

My in laws suggested this facility for a day of swimming. We all have young ones and they said it was a great place to go. We hadn't been there too long when the one girl I was with got in trouble for not being close enough to the child. This facility has a "within arms reach" rule. While we were ok with the rule, the way the lifeguard spoke to her was very rude. A while later this happened to another girl that was in our group. Also spoken to in a very rude manner. Something to point out is that all the children had life jackets on. The second girl explained to the lifeguard that it was fine to tell her the rules, but that there was no need to be rude. She then went and told her Mom about the lifeguards behavior, at which point she got out of the pool, found the supervisor, and explained this. At that point, her bathing suit was called into question. It was cotton, and you can't wear cotton in the pool. Although there were no signs saying that - and we had been swimming for close to an hour without being told that. At which point she demanded her money back and left the facility. I left the pool early as I have a small infant and he can't stay in the pool too long. I did hear from others who stayed that wherever they moved to in the pool, the lifeguard that told them to keep their kids within reach followed them to the different areas of the pool. I was glad I was not there to witness that, as I would have been very uncomfortable and would have left right then. This is a family friendly facility with lots of arbitrary rules. The lifeguards are very quick to point out what is being done wrong, but in a very rude, non friendly manner. As an aside: They have an indoor and outdoor pool. The first time one of the ladies went the indoor pool was closed, and this time we went, the outdoor pool was closed. I'm not sure if this is a trend but it doesn't set a good track record. I will never be going back to this place and I hope others don't waste their time going there either. read more
