The date

təməsew̓txʷ opened in 2024 and promptly took the province's facility excellence award, which reads oddly until you walk in. Mass timber, glass, light everywhere, an eight lane fifty metre tank on one side and a leisure pool on the other with a lazy river you can drift around until you lose the thread of the week. The good part sits off to the edge: a hot tub restricted to fifteen and over, a steam room and a sauna. Drop in rates, no membership, bring your own towel and a lock.

How to do it

Look at the drop in schedule first, because lane swim, leisure swim and the sauna each run their own hours and the leisure pool goes to lessons at times. Pay at the desk, no membership needed, and bring a towel and a lock because neither comes free. The move here is the leisure side: drift the lazy river for a while, then shift over to the adults only hot tub and the steam room, both fifteen and over. It is a five minute walk from Moody Park and about ten from uptown. Ninety minutes leaves you with that pleasant, useless, entirely earned feeling.
