What to Expect During Your Visit

Our priority is safety, and all COVID-19 protocols are in place to create a safe environment for visitors and staff. Thank you for doing all you can during your visit to stay safe while you stay active.

Capacity is being managed to prevent crowding and limit contact points throughout the facility, and visits are limited to 90 minutes.

When you arrive, you’ll wait outside until your booked time. A staff member will welcome you, check you in, and answer any questions you may have before you enjoy your time in the pool or fitness areas.

Signs to inform you of capacity limits, pool rules, and other helpful instructions are posted throughout the facility, and our friendly staff are here to help.

Under public health requirements, masks are required in all indoor public spaces and should only be removed when showering, in the pool, or while participating in a sport or fitness activity.

Enhanced cleaning protocols which follow provincial guidelines are being used throughout all City of Victoria buildings, including Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre.

Please note, the sauna and steam room are currently closed, and the hot tub maximum is two people or one household bubble at a time.

Daily use lockers are currently unavailable. Long-term locker rentals are available on request.

 

Arrive Ready to Swim or Workout

Due to occupancy limits and physical distancing requirements, our change rooms can only accommodate a small number of people at a time who are using the pool. If you are using the fitness areas, you will not have access to the change rooms.

To accommodate all our patrons, everyone must move as quickly as possible through the change rooms. Showers are limited to a quick rinse before and after using the pool. Please do your personal grooming at home.
