If you’re looking to do some indoor swimming in the Tri-Cities for the last part of summer, time is running out.
In Port Coquitlam, the leisure and lap pools at Hyde Creek recreation centre will be closed from Monday (Aug. 27) to Sept. 15 for the city’s annual maintenance.
And in Coquitlam, the City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC) will be shut for its yearly cleaning from Sept. 4 — the first day of school — to Oct. 11.
At Hyde Creek, the squash/racquetball courts, weight room and gym will stay open during regular hours of operation, and a front-counter clerk will be on hand to take fall program registrations.
In the meantime, the city is recommending swimmers head to the following outdoor tanks: Centennial (3050 Chester St., open until Sept. 14); Robert Hope (2137 Lamprey Dr., open until Sept. 4); Sun Valley (3700 Hamilton St.); and Routley (1570 Western Dr., weather-permitted openings).
At CCAC , the fitness room will be down from Sept. 4 to Sept. 11 with special operating hours until Oct. 10: Monday to Friday, 5:30 a.m. to10:30 p.m.; and Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Still, swimmers in Coquitlam can use the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, which has an indoor pool at 633 Poirier St., or Eagle Ridge outdoor pool (2689 Guildford Way).
