Pools in GTA

[Eric__U]

hey,

Any 1 know of any pools where divers caan get togeather and dive around in the GTA- any clubs doing pool sessions?
I know the olympim is closed, i heard from a girl that swims there that the contractors who re-did the pool made that divider thing in the middle of the pool to long and now their figuring out what to do. It shoul be open in dec though.

The store i DM for has a hell of a time getting pools. Very expensive! The school board gives out permits but they are not cheap, and they cancel them without notice half the time.

Eric,

Sorry but the only place local is the olympia.
Do the Shannon have an alternative to it?

If you want to use a pool for training with scuba, you can get into the etobicoke olympia through Mississauga scuba (the shannons) or aquarius scuba ( mark) with mark the pool time costs you a club membership. Going back a couple of years it was approx $40.00. (when it is open of course)

Another option for scuba might be scuba2000. It maybe worth a call to them. I have always found their service to be quite good.

If you are looking for swimming there is an excellent triathalon group training out of the community center on the west side of the erin mills town center. The contact there is brad melville . You can contact him at the community center front counter.

all the best

I think the Duram region divers club also has pool time. I can't recall the website but you can probably do a search on the web or contact the guys at DiveSource and they will know. Again you will likely have to join up as a member but from what they said it is unlimited pool time whenever they have the pool. I am sure this works pretty much the same for other clubs...
And like Col. Cluster mentioned... S2K has a pool right in their shop! Very convenient...
