I remember spending 13 days in four different Toronto community centres including this one from 24-Dec-2013 to 04-Jan-2014. The North American event was called the 2013 Toronto Ice Storm locally. So much of this city was impacted by the significant severe winter weather storm that included a crippling blanket of ice that forced Toronto to open up a number of community centres as emergency shelters. I even celebrated my birthday here during a midnight shift, complete with a cake that another volunteer bought and then totally surprised me with! The staff here were terrific, then and now. What great memories about what these functional community centre are when times were really tough, and when I'm only here to freely exercise my democratic right to Vote!

So we will only be two topics Pool and staff so lets go! POOL: Alright so right off the bat. my visits. there was a kid who threw up 2 times different times and different days. And that was couple of days after it just opened. now its like what. but the rest of the times. it was good. Its very cold for cold weather. but if hot. it could be amazing. like amazing amazing. in case of babys bathrooms or shower. There are shower rooms that have showers then a dressing room (sometimes its locked sometimes its not) it just depends. but back to the topic there is a bathroom. now A QUICK WARNING. because people are going to need it. if you are a boy. who needs to use the washroom. if you go to the boys shower room and head to the bathroom. there is only one stall. now if you head to the unviersal. there is multiple. and the showers are the same only 4 for all shower rooms. there is a office for FIRST AID and more. STAFF: Now this one is going to be pretty short unlike the pool one. because well there isnt much things to say. some staff are nice some are not. and thats kind what sums it. as there really isnt nothing else to say expect most of the staff are nice. SHOULD YOU GO TO THIS POOL: Yea! Its peaceful sometimes. can get a bit crowed but if you are near mcgregor and want to go do a quick swim. this is your place! - Ethan K.

If you have kids this place is a no brainer for my family of four it is cheaper then part time daycare for 1 of my kids. There are so many classes and all of them have trainers that make the classes fun and inclusive to all abilities and training levels. The gym is huge with tons of equipment and it is the only gym where equipment is ever fixed or replaced quickly and efficiently not that machines go down very often. Everyone is just so happy here and who can blame them it feels like a luxury country club and the outdoor space in the summer feels more like your on a beach resort. The whole place is always clean and well maintained. If you are thinking about booking a tour, do it. It is worth every penny.

It took me multiple calls to the Lifesaving Society and the City of Whitby. I will not return to the city of Whitby for other courses.

Because this establishment is owned by the municipal government it is always well maintained and…read morekept aesthetically up-to-date. It has a nice-sized pool, large enough locker rooms, hot tubs, and saunas. It has a decent number of rooms in which classes are held and the lobby is pretty nice. I am not a fan of the avid disuse of the lower floor, however: it seems like a waste of space into which expansions could be made. I happen to use the health club- the gym- part of the building the most, so speaking from experience, that is where I'm taking a star off. Though the vast majority of the staff members/personal trainers are amazing people- particularly Leo- many could afford to learn a little more about working with the public. When it comes to equipment and space, there is even more room for improvement, for the health club. Most of the free-weights are pretty old, and despite quasi frequent updates, they are usually only to the machines. This is great for beginners and the elderly members of the health club, who seem to gravitate towards machines, but for the younger/more experienced members of the club that use free-weights and barbells more often, it would be nice to see some new purchases. Also, some more space would be useful, as in the past, the club has gotten rid of some useful equipment in an attempt to make more room. It should be noted that the maintenance staff and the majority of the receptionists are delightful people. I very much like how exceptionally affordable the health club is. A gym membership, personal training, swimming lessons, etc. are all amazingly economically feasible.

This pool has a baby area, a winding shallow end, a deep end with a diving board and another shallow end that acts as the outpost for the best free water slide in all of the land. A tall, yellow winding water slide that can make a grown woman squeal with childish delight. Beyond all of this, the deck is huge with equal parts shade and sun and a lovely mixture of families and adults. It's far less busy than the pool at Bathurst and Dundas.

Bonnie and the administrative staff were excellent communicators and together we navigated through Covid times.

Thank you to Bonnie and her staff for making this such a great experience and providing a solid foundation. My son keeps asking for Bonnie and would still be working with her had we not moved too far away.

Totally agree with Steve B. and Wendy C. from the other yelp review thread for this place…read more We signed up right before the pandemic started. They were quick to invoice and re-register you, but then they wouldn't let you book your make up sessions because they signed up a fresh crop and took all the spots. We had our 3 signed up, they had lessons on the same night but only 1 teacher, so they each got a bout 10 minutes every session. Very little communication on progress, on next steps, on areas to focus. Often had different teachers so it was hard to establish any kind of rapport. I was told to email every Monday to check on spots for make-ups, but rarely got an email back. But they sure as heck didn't hesitate to try and sign us up for the next term. Even though we had a balance of make-ups still owed. The owner is a bit rough around the edges in terms of customer service and communication. It's run like a cup cake stand. Also, pretty sure Karen K. in the reviews works there FYI. Steer Clear!

I recently purchased equipment from the store, and when I needed help with an issue, the new owner redirected me to the manufacturer instead of attempting to troubleshoot or assist. His staff also gave me the runaround rather than trying to resolve the problem. I ultimately had to call someone else to fix it. If you're buying equipment here and are told it comes with warranty and support, be aware that the level of service is no longer what Tav and Frank once offered. Unfortunately, I would not trust this pool store anymore, and there are plenty of reputable pool companies in the Durham area that still value their customers.
