The Cowichan Aquatic Centre is an excellent recreation centre with lots to choose from. It is a great place for self care, offering pools for the serious swimmer and the not so serious, including a lap pool, a fun river, a wave pool, a baby pool, and slides. Facilities also include a hot tub, a steam room, a super hot traditional sauna, and a gym with decent equipment. The centre is clean, well kept, and well maintained, with super friendly and helpful staff. It is super kid friendly and a great pool for adults and older kids, offering the best value membership in the area. It is often quite busy and the gym equipment can be hard to get at peak times. Some note the baby pool can be very cold for little kids, the wave pool schedule is unpredictable, and the online schedule can be frustrating to navigate. However, it remains a wonderful, pleasant, and relaxing experience with nothing to complain about.
