Two arenas in one, the adjacent building is only for ice skating if swimming is not your thing. The main reason I chose this place-for my 6 year old son-besides the ones mentioned above was because they offer diving lessons. You can't find this at just any swimming centre. The place is equipped with a pool for this purpose, several diving boards at different heights and looks like they're ready to train olympians. I made the last one up but I don't see why not tho. Parking on weekends could be a challenge. Even though they have a decent parking lot but the amount of people they get here could be overwhelming sometimes. Locker rooms are ok but could be a bit bigger. Perhaps they didn't expect to receive this much crowd when they built it. Swimming areas usually swarming with kids and parents on the sidelines watching their little ones, yelling, shouting sometimes, encouraging them. It could get noisy but all fun and action. All in all, I'm satisfied with this centre, it does the job and more for me. Until our Laval aquatic centre is up and running next year (hopefully), the Lavalois will have to make little trips around the town for this purpose.

Beautiful well kept private pool surrounded by a small forest, FREE during heat wave (canicule),…read morebut NO DIVING BOARDS... This pool is for members only and you must be a Kirkland or Beaconsfield resident to become one (a member), otherwise everyone that works and who are members look at you like an invader...an intruder... It's that beautiful! They get threaten by visitors during heat waves and barrage you with nozy questions of your living standards, to see if you should be greated with kindness or shun with darting glances! OK, it's not that bad...maybe I should not drink this 5th coffee? Beautiful seating, beautiful pool. When all of the rénovations will be done we might get a membership. But why no diving boards? Sometimes mayors have crazy ideas...

Bottom Line: A Spectacular Athletic Facility Run with Bureaucratic Indifference…read more This is an unbelievable town facility in the city of Pointe-Claire. Unfortunately, the people who run it seem to be incompetent, or at least indifferent. The Centre was named after a former, an apparently beloved, city mayor, Olive Urquhart. I'm afraid if Ms. Urquhart could see how the place named after her is being run, she would be spinning in her grave. Case in point: During the holidays, I could find no listing of the holiday hours on the website. When I pointed this out the the receptionist, she insisted that the hours were on the website, but failed to find them herself. Her next response was, "Well, the hours are on door." Having the hours on the door is of no use to people at home home who want to plan a workout during their day. That concept--and the idea of posting the hours--seemed to be beyond the receptionist's cognitive grasp. For the record the facility is closed December 24, 25, 26 and 31st. January 1 and 2. Checking in also seems to be a tedious bureaucratic process. I have had several occasions , where the line was three people deep and it took ten minutes to get through the queue. From the laborious nature of the process, you would think people where applying for refugee status. The facility could be a great experience if they would just clean up their act.

When choosing a pool to join, I would avoid the Lakeshore pool at all costs. I found the lady who runs it to be unaccommodating and rigid. Personally, I think she should be fired. As an alternative, I suggest Lakeside Pool at 22 Ovide in Pointe-Claire. I found the staff at Lakeside to be spectacular. The names Lakeshore and Lakeside are confusingly similar.
