CLOSURE NOTICE: Guests of the UBC Aquatic Centre are to be advised that the facility will be closed to the public for the Annual Preventative Maintenance Closure (APMC) from Thursday, March 28 at 4:00PM – Sunday, April 21, 2024 inclusively. This closure will permit UBC to complete regular preventative maintenance on the facility systems. During the APMC, the UBC Aquatic Centre is closed to all visitors. (Note: During this closure, administrative staff will be monitoring email and voice-mail on a limited basis only).
Please note the following for membership products & sales:

- 4-month memberships will automatically be extended by the number of days we are closed at the time of reopening.
- 10-visit memberships and 1-year memberships are unaffected as the APMC is included in the original purchase price. See membership information here.
The UBC Aquatic Centre will re-open on Monday, April 22, 2024. All guests and facility users are encouraged to consult the facility schedule prior to any visit.
Curious about what happens during the closure? The APMC allows facility staff, trades, and contractors to perform important work on the building and aquatic systems. Highlights from 2023 closure include:
- Overhauled 6 large filters with 7,000 parts inspected, cleaned and re-assembled
- Over 1.9 million tiles inspected with some repaired
- 400m of deck drain lifted and cleaned
- Repainted the mezzanine seating and washroom spaces
- Drained and refilled 5,000,000 liters of water (* see sustainability info online)
A commitment to on-going and annual maintenance will allow the community to enjoy the benefits of the facility for decades to come.
