Best Lap Pool In Edmonton?

troutbug · #1 03-20-2016, 06:11 PM

Can any locals of Edmonton reccomend a good pool that has more than 1 lap lane open? Closer to NAIT the better but will drive either way.

The Meadows in SE Edmonton has 3 pools. There are always lanes open for laps.

There is a pool at NAIT, if that's not open for you the Peter Hemingway is close, and a 50m pool.

Either go to terwillegar or st Alberts big pool. Both are good! Or if you're closer to downtown hit up the kinsmen

Call you local YMCA pools they usually have the policy that mandates that lap lanes always be maintained at all times. I know that is the policy here in calgary.
At any given time there is 2-3 lanes for lanes. Slow, medium and fast. If they have to change it then its slow and fast lanes.

If you are south side, Beaumont has lap lanes!

Thanks everyone, I will check out the ones mentioned.

The NAIT one is ok but the swim team books it up sometimes so you never know if you can get a lane.

Biggest thing was I like going after school ends (3:15) and most pools only have 1-3 lanes available for people who want to swim laps and it can get boring sitting and waiting for a lane to open

As of yesterday the meadows pool was still closed for warranty. The sign said closed till spring 2016 so it should be opening up sometime soon

The Kinsmen Field House across the river from downtown. Really not that far from NAIT. A selection of nice pools.

Millennium Place in Sh Park seems to always has lanes on their big pool when we went with the kids.
