Aquatics

Steven Blitz Aquatics Centre

Our aquatics centre consists of a 25 meter, five-lane, warm, salt water pool, hot tub, dry sauna, and steam room. We offer a variety of activities that include swimming lessons, lane swim, open swim, and Aqua Fitness classes.

Calgary Lifeguard Certification

Calgary JCC also offers recognized aquatics certification courses for those who are interested in becoming a lifeguard, as well as first aid certification courses. For more information, email Darrian Doucet, Aquatics Manager.

Pre-Booked and Pre-Registered Classes

We are now offering pre-booked lane swim and family swim, private and semi-private swim lessons as well as pre-registered Aqua Fitness classes. At this time, the sauna remains closed.

The Paperny Family JCC Aquatics Centre is currently experiencing staff shortages and can only offer limited lane swim and family swim times. We are actively recruiting new lifeguards and will add more swim times as soon as possible. We ask for your patience and understanding as we address this issue.
