About the WMC Pool:
The Woolwich Memorial Centre houses two pools; a 6 lane 25 metre competition pool and a warm-water teaching leisure pool. Both pools are universally accessible, with water wheelchairs and ramps leading into each pool. There are three changerooms, including Men's, Women's, and a Family/Universal changeroom. The Family/Universal changeroom has two accessible changerooms with accessible washrooms and changing tables.
In addition to the various public swims, family swims and Aquafit classes, we also offer the Lifesaving Society "Swim for Life" program, Learn to Dive, Splashball Water Polo, Youth Lifesaving Sport and Advanced certification courses.
