Frequently Asked Questions

No, we do not offer adult-only or seniors-only swim times. Our facilities are designed to welcome all ages and abilities as part of the City's broader commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in recreation.

Please phone the facility directly to check, especially for last-minute or unexpected cancellations (such as due to instructor illness).

All of our aquafit classes are drop-in for the public. We ask that you seek support from the instructor for any further questions regarding the workout.

• Gentle Fit: A gentle, low-impact water exercise class focused on improving mobility, balance, flexibility, and overall fitness. Participants may choose their preferred water depth by changing their position in the pool, allowing them to customize the level of support and resistance.
• Low Impact Aquafit: An even gentler class than Gentle Fit, focused on mobility and supporting everyday function through slow, controlled water exercises that build strength while being easy on the joints. This class is well suited to those looking for a softer pace, recovering from injury, managing arthritis or other joint conditions, or simply wanting a low-key way to stay active and maintain range of motion.
• Deep Fit: A challenging deep-water workout that uses buoyancy belts and other aquatic fitness equipment to provide a full-body cardiovascular and strength-training experience without impact on the joints. While flotation equipment is provided, participants are strongly encouraged to be able to swim and remain comfortable in deep water independently, as the class takes place entirely in the deep end.
• Shallow Fit: An energetic shallow-water fitness class that combines cardio, strength, and flexibility exercises for a well-rounded workout. Held in chest-deep water where participants can comfortably stand, this class allows individuals to adjust the intensity to suit their fitness level while benefiting from the support and resistance of the water.
• Aquazumba: A fun, high-energy water fitness class that blends the rhythms and moves of Zumba with the resistance of the water. Held in chest-deep water where participants can stand comfortably, this dance-inspired workout improves cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and muscle tone while being easy on the joints.

The CAN program at CCAC is a preschool swim class for participants aged 3–5, run in partnership with Canucks Autism Network. 

Sessions run for 30 minutes each, with 5 sessions back-to-back from 8–10:30 a.m. Each participant has a 1:1 support ratio - one support worker assigned to them throughout their sessions - along with a coach who leads the swimming and an onsite supervisor overseeing the program.

To participate, the participant must:

• Be under 13 years of age
• Have an official autism diagnosis
• Create a profile through the CAN website
• Sign up on specific registration days, which depend on the season (fall/winter/spring) and are communicated to families through a CAN newsletter/email

For more information, interested families can visit the CAN website or email CAN.
