We offer five fitness and aquatics branches throughout Hamilton, Burlington and Brantford. Staff at each location will be happy to help you complete your membership application and provide a tour of our facility.

Our Swimming Advantage

Swimming lessons are included in Child and Youth Membership. 

Parents love the range of days and times that swimming lessons are available and that swimming registration automatically rolls over to the next session.
