Challenge to meet swim times

For the past few months, the Dieppe Aquatic and Sports Centre has been receiving many comments about the challenge of finding time to swim for our lap swims and aquafitness classes.  In order to be able to offer the most swim times to the greatest number of users, please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel. We are counting on your patience and understanding during this period of modified programming due to the yellow and orange levels.

Registration - private lessons, aquaspinning, aqua push-push and adult swimming lessons

Private lessons, aquaspinning, aqua push-push and adult swimming lessons will continue to be offered during the orange level. Registration begins on Monday, January 11 at 6 p.m. for residents and on Wednesday, January 13, at 6 p.m. for non-residents.

To facilitate physical distancing, you are asked to register online whenever possible.

Group swimming lessons

During the orange level, the formation of new groups is not permitted, therefore registration for the winter session will be postponed to a later date.

Aquatic activities

Aquatic activities may continue during the orange level with a capacity of 14 instead of 20.
