After a month-long maintenance period, the Jayman Built Aquatic Centre at Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre (SLSFSC) has reopened.

The swimming pool closed in early September for its annual cleaning and maintenance schedule. SLSFSC detailed all the work that was accomplished over the month in a social media post. 

“The list of things we accomplished is a long one. In short, our maintenance included: cleaning, disinfecting, polishing, testing, painting, repairs, replacements, and inspections.”

Maintenance did not only involve cleaning, as a big water feature was removed to make space for the facility's expanding programs.

“We said goodbye to the tipping yellow bucket so we can say hello to expanded program opportunities for our community!”

Pool programming will ramp up throughout October including swimming lessons beginning this month.
