Recreation

Recreation services are essential to active, healthy and connected communities, and contribute enormously to Victoria’s vibrancy and resiliency. 

Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre

Registration is ongoing for pool and fitness visits and upcoming recreation programs. Based on provincial public health orders announced on March 29, all adult indoor group fitness activities are on pause until April 19. This includes our adult fitness and adult swim programs. 

Individual fitness for adults and one-on-one activities such as personal training can continue. We are also offering select classes online and outside at Royal Athletic Park. For more information, check out our Programs and Registration page.

There is no change to child and youth programs, and individual swim and fitness sessions are still available.

The City of Victoria's fitness and aquatics centre is located at 2775 Quadra Street. Enjoy our 50-metre pool, two warm pools, 160-foot water slide, hot tub, weight room, cardio area and more.

Due to public health requirements and capacity limits registration is required, so please book ahead. Our priority is safety and all COVID-19 protocols are in place to help you stay safe while you stay active.

Recreation Recovery

Increasing access to recreation allows people to take care of their mental, emotional and physical health. Programs and services are in alignment with public health requirements and we are prepared to adapt and change as requirements change to keep the public and our staff safe.
