Welcome to UBC Recreation Aquatics

The UBC Aquatic Centre is pleased to announce that the Annual Preventative Closure (APC) is complete for 2026, and that we are reopening for full spring term with more regular operating hours and programs as of Monday, April 27.

The BMO Vancouver Marathon is taking place on May 3. Around UBC, road closures will be in effect between 8AM and 12:30PM.
