Annual Pool Closure
March 29-April 16 marks this year's annual pool closure. WSPR memberships will be accepted at the municipal recreation centres of Greater Victoria. Please contact the respective centre directly for inquiries and program times.
In addition to the heavy-duty efforts of the maintenance team on deep cleaning, paint and repairs, you can expect to find the river run back in action, and new lane ropes.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the pool on April 17!
