The Brossard aquatic complex will be closed from August 22 to September 18 inclusively for annual maintenance of the pools and aquatic equipment. The closure of the complex will allow a thorough cleaning of the facilities.
Maintenance
The pools will be completely emptied and cleaned, as will the promenade, chutes, slide, springboards, filters, etc. This is a process that will take several days to complete, since a certain rhythm must be observed when emptying and filling the basins. By way of comparison, filling a 20,000-litre backyard pool can take 24 to 48 hours, while the complex’s competition pool alone contains three (3) million liters and takes over eight (8) days to fill. The water then needs to be filtered, heated and the parameters adjusted for the comfort of bathers.
100% opening from September 19
After this annual maintenance, the City will reopen the doors at 100%, starting on September 19. Welcoming users at full capacity, providing access to non-residents, lifting mandatory reservations and gradually opening up the major games, such as the Tarzan rope, the rope bridge and the zip line, will enable visitors to enjoy a unique experience in one of the most beautiful facilities in Quebec.
Rates for open-air baths 2022-2023
From September 6, bathing enthusiasts will be able to purchase an individual annual pass online (bciti loisir pass required). Please note that family memberships must be purchased in person at Services Brossard or at the aquatic complex. It should be remembered that this fee structure, planned from 2019, had been suspended by the city council due to the restricted access to the facility linked to COVID-19.

Swim program transition
For many years, the city has offered the Canadian Red Cross swimming program and the Lifesaving Society’s lifesaving program. Earlier this year, the Red Cross announced that it was discontinuing all of its aquatic course programming and inviting providers to switch to the Lifesaving Society’s “Swim for Life” program. The company has over 100 years’ experience in providing nationally recognized swimming and lifesaving courses.
It’s therefore only natural that the City should proceed with this transition of the swimming program as of autumn 2022, just like several other aquatic facilities. The two programs are similar, and the tools for this transition are accessible and easy to understand. Citizens wishing to register for a swimming course are invited to consult the City’s fee-based website to ensure that their registration corresponds to the appropriate level.
Registration for aquatic courses will take place online from August 27, at 9 a.m.
Residents are invited to visit the aquatic complex for information on facilities, zones, reservations and more!
