Port Coquitlam Community Centre - Annual Maitenance The leisure pool and aquatic area at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre (PCCC) will be temporarily closed starting Tuesday, January 2, 2024 for an early annual maintenance shutdown and due to an unforeseen deficiency at the facility that requires immediate attention. All lessons booked for Port Coquitlam Community Cente will be moved to Hyde Creek Community Centre.

Changes to Aquatic lesson registration These improvements include: • Adding skills as a pre-requisite to a customer’s profile in the registration system as a requirement for aquatics lessons and • Adding additional registration dates for aquatic lessons on a rolling registration. A rolling registration will provide an opportunity for participants to register for a lesson more frequently throughout the season and provide fewer breaks in learning.

Registration for aquatic lesson programs will go as follows: • Port Coquitlam residents will have access at 8 am 30 days prior to the first day of swim lessons.

Providing proof of prerequisites Bring a report card to one of the Recreation Centres (Hyde Creek Recreation Centre or Port Coquitlam Community Centre) in person or send an email with the participant’s name and a photo of the report card to recreation@portcoquitlam.ca.

Please ensure the photo includes the participant’s name and the last level they have passed.

If you are unsure whether the prerequisites are in the system, please contact the Recreation team at recreation@portcoquitlam.ca or call 604-927-PLAY (7529).

• General public will have access at 8 am 27 days prior for the first day of swim lessons.
