All of our pools are maintained in accordance with established health guidelines and standards, and are chlorinated to maintain safe and hygienic environments.
Do your part in keeping our pools safe and clean – take a shower before using our pools.
Aquatic activities help contribute to healthy and active citizens by providing exercise and social interactions. Whether you want to swim laps, participate in an Aqua Fit class, or simply relax in the hot tub or sauna, Coquitlam’s aquatic facilities have something for everyone.
Coquitlam’s aquatic services include two indoor facilities: City Centre Aquatic Complex and Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex. In the summer, you can visit our outdoor pools, too.
