We are optimistic for the future and look forward to providing an exciting entertainment experience.”

The Windsor International Aquatic and Training Centre Presented by WFCU Credit Union and WFCU Centre community pools will be re-opening for reserved fitness lanes, open adult and aqua fitness classes as of January 31, 2022.
