Plant Recreation Centre

Good swimming pool. However, kids should not be allowed in the main pool as we were ordered out because of emergencies

My first swim after the pandemic, enough said not drowning ... But boy... Am I out of swimming shape I was glad that this special swim took place at The Plant Recreation Center, very nice 25 meter 6 lane pool, temperature was perfect, not too warm neither too cold, also chlorine levels were pretty decent in comparison with other pools that I've swam in previously, I was a bit surprised at the depth of the low end of the pool, found it a bit shallow but comfortable non the less, lane dividers are well maintained and worth good and proper tension which prevented them from straddling sidewise and invading the lanes. The locker rooms are clean, spacious and well lit with the option of paying 25 or bringing your own padlock, showers are pretty standard though something that surprised me was that there were no hooks to hang towels, which, after a swim and if you want to get rid of chlorine you need to have a shower. Overall, from the check in process through your barcode card to gaining entrance to the pool is pretty seamless. The centre's team at the reception are friendly and welcoming which renders the experience the more so welcoming. If you like squeezing in a workout at the weight room, or clock in a few laps at the pool or get involved in community activities, then The Planet Centre is your space, come in and get involved with your Ottawa community BTW, you need to pay a subscription to the activity that you want to take on, it's only fair and necessary to maintain such a have communal space
