If you want to take a dip at an indoor pool in Coquitlam next month, head up to the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

From Sept. 3 to 30, the City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC) will close for its annual maintenance.

During that time, city crews will be cleaning the tanks, resurfacing the floor in the change rooms, rebuilding the sauna and hot tub filter and servicing the slide and wave machine.

As well, the change and shower rooms, life jackets, pool toys and other equipment will get a scrub.

As for the adjoining fitness centre, it will get a deep clean too when it’s closed between Sept. 3 and Sept. 10.

Afterwards, until Sept. 29, the fitness centre will run Monday to Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It will be closed on Sundays.

The public fitness centres at Pinetree community centre (1260 Pinetree Way) and Glen Pine Pavilion (1200 Glen Pine Crt., for adults only) will be available during the CCAC maintenance schedule in September.

The Poirier pool is located at 633 Poirier St. The city’s two outdoor tanks — Eagle Ridge and Spani — are open until Sept. 2 (lengths only at Eagle Ridge until Sept. 27 and at limited times).
