About
"Swimming Pool at the Claude-Raymond Sports Complex" is a popular public swimming pool located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Currently closed for renovations and scheduled to reopen in the spring of 2024, the pool is undergoing major maintenance work to enhance the user experience and accessibility. The renovations will include updated changing rooms, the addition of a family changing room, and a new reception area.
During the temporary closure of the Claude-Raymond pool, agreements have been made with local partners to offer additional activities to the community. Information on schedules, rates, and registration details for these partner facilities can be obtained directly from the respective partners.
In partnership with Cgep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, the pool offers a variety of aquatic activities, including swimming lessons, aquatic fitness classes, and training programs. Information on the scheduled activities and registration can be found on the Cgep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu website.
For those looking for open swim and lap swimming sessions, the pool offers various time slots throughout the day, with some sessions catering to specific groups such as seniors or families. The Marie-Rivier School pool is one of the locations that offer open swim sessions, and no reservation is required.
The pool has a range of admission fees based on age and residency status, with special rates for children, adults, and seniors. Annual membership cards are currently suspended until the Claude-Raymond pool reopens. Payment for admission can be made in cash, and rules and regulations must be followed while using the facilities.
In addition to the indoor pools, the Claude-Raymond Sports Complex also offers outdoor swimming facilities at various locations in the city, including the J. Paul-Beaulieu Park, Saint-Edmond, Palestre, and the Garnison Saint-Jean outdoor pool. Annual subscriptions to the pool facilities have been put on hold and will automatically resume upon the reopening of the Claude-Raymond pool.
Furthermore, the Cgep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, in collaboration with the City of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, offers free training and materials for those interested in becoming swim instructors and lifeguards. Detailed information on these free training programs can be found on their website.
