The Stettler Aquatic Centre in Stettler, Alberta, is closed for its annual maintenance period from August 31 through September 13, 2026. Regular swimming, swim lessons, and fitness programs are paused during the two-week closure, with the facility expected to reopen on September 14.
The closure affects all aquatic programming, including public swims, family swims, fitness swims, and swim lessons. The Town of Stettler says the shutdown allows staff to perform necessary upkeep on the pool and its equipment. This type of seasonal closure is common at aquatic facilities in central Alberta, typically taking place in late August or early September when pool use naturally drops after the summer.
The Stettler Aquatic Centre is part of the Stettler Recreation Centre at 6202-44 Avenue. The pool area includes a lane pool, leisure pool, hot tub, water slide, climbing wall, and a zero-entry wheelchair-accessible pool. The broader recreation centre also houses two ice arenas, a fitness centre, a library, and senior recreation areas, which remain open during the pool closure.
Recent maintenance work at the pool in October 2024 included tile repairs, expansion joint fixes in the leisure pool, pool deck repairs, and filter media replacement. This year’s annual closure continues that pattern of keeping the facility in good condition for the community.
