With the recent issues at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre<\/a>, you may be wondering what sort of options are out there for indoor swimming and fitness in downtown Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are other options available \u2014 meaning that you\u2019ll never have to be without physical activity during the season you need it most.<\/p>\n

Swimming at the YWCA
\n\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Aquafit (YWCA Health + Fitness)<\/a><\/p>\n

The YWCA Health + Fitness Centre<\/a> at 535 Hornby St. is stepping up to fill the gap. A 25-metre UV-purified pool<\/a> with shared swim lanes and aquafit classes will get you back in the water, while the hot tub, steam room, and infrared sauna are ideal ways to wind down after a workout (or even a long day).<\/p>\n

And the good times aren\u2019t just limited to activities that involve a swimsuit. There are also weight and cardio rooms<\/a>, a pickleball court<\/a>, and a wide range of group fitness classes<\/a>, from spin to karate and everything in between.<\/p>\n

YWCA is open to all genders, ages 15 and up, although there\u2019s a designated women\u2019s only area available as well.<\/p>\n
