How much do drop-in classes cost?
A lot of them are free, all leisure swim at every City pool, all lane swim at outdoor pools, all drop-in skating, all child and youth sports, and every program at the City's 38 free centres. Where a fee applies, an indoor lane swim or drop-in sport day pass is $4.39, a fitness or aquafit class is $10.64, and an All Access day pass is $15.64. Youth 13-18 and adults 60+ pay half. The City also runs the Welcome Policy fee subsidy for eligible residents.
What types of classes are available?
Recreation centres offer a wide range: fitness bootcamps, swimming, aqua fitness, yoga, pilates, spin, basketball, youth programs, senior fitness (55+), dance, martial arts, pottery, and more. It varies by location.
Do I need to register in advance?
Most drop-in classes don't require registration, just show up and pay at the door. Some popular sessions fill up, so arriving 15-20 minutes early is a good idea.
