Pool Lane Bookings

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.

We are now offering pre-booked lane swim and family swim. A lane will be assigned to you by the lifeguard and lanes will be shared with other guests. Up to four people are allowed for family swim. At this time, the sauna will remain closed.

The JCC has implemented the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) in line with the City of Calgary Vaccine Passport Bylaw. This program requires that all members and patrons 12 years and older accessing our building provide a valid Alberta vaccine record with a QR code (paper or digital), a privately-paid negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours of service or a medical exemption letter.

All members and guests must follow the procedures outlined below.

• Do not come to the JCC if you have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, or are a close contact of a person who tested positive for COVID-19.
• Time slots can be pre-booked online two days in advance for JCC members (login prior to booking your spot). The public can pre-book one day in advance for $10 per spot.
• Cancellations must be made online at least eight hours prior to the start time of your reserved spot – otherwise, a $5 cancellation fee will be applied to your account. How to cancel a booking.
