Trico Centre For Family Wellness

I am so disappointed with Trico. I registered my two children for summer swim lessons at the same time, one child has a disability which requires her to have an aide in the water for safety. I made it clear on registration that this was the case. We went to the first lesson and were told that there was absolutely NO way that myself or an aide was allowed in the water and I would have to withdraw my daughter. They pointed out they have an entirely segregated class that only runs through the fall and winter months called Swim Abilities. This is NOT inclusion, why should my child not be allowed to participate in lessons like every other child her age with her same age typical peers? I am very disappointed in Trico. I sincerely hope this exclusive approach is rectified!

I love being a member of Trico. During the 40 day challenge was fun getting the opportunity to meet more people and try different classes and equipment. My husband and I have looked at a few Centres and Trico is not only affordable but it provides many classes that are included in the membership price and the instructors and personal trainers are the best we’ve seen.nI feel so much stronger than when I started back!

Good facilities with an easy to navigate website when registering for swimming lessons. Parking can be difficult on weekends so arrive early. Prices for the lessons are a good deal when you break it down in a per lesson cost. Will continue to come here.nnI saw a lot of reviews about concerns regarding the change rooms and genders. There’s signs posted so don’t get mad at Trio for parents who can’t read. Also if they are single parents it could be difficult to follow 100%. People need to lighten up and go about their business. It’s 2024.

They had availability for swimming lessons, which is hard to find. The instructor was friendly. But the facility is poorly maintained, dirty, and not a great environment. It seems pretty rundown. The changing room ducts look like they have never been cleaned since the facility has opened. The floors were dirty, as well as the equipment. Going to keep my spot on the waiting lists for swimming lessons at other facilities.

My son had a hockey game there and we decided to use the pool after. Nice aquatic centre, sadly missing the water slide but overall great experience. Not a 5-stars due to condescending behaviour from the lifeguard. We asked if we could use water tubes and he rolled his eyes saying if we were not members we couldn’t. Ridiculous if you ask me, we paid our day-pass and I don’t see why non-members couldn’t use them.
