But on September 13, the dream becomes reality, as hundreds of Courtice residents flock to the creek-side site south of Courtice Secondary School to check out the $6.5 million facility that is sure to become the showpiece showpiece in this growing community community of 15,000.

"The slide is going to be the big feature," he says. "We're going to have a big success because of that." Six hundred gallons of water circulate through the slide every minute, with the capacity to speed it up or slow it down. Guards will be posted at the top and bottom. The main pool has a depth of three and a half feet in the shallow end and six and a half feet at its deepest point. Swimmers will have no hesitation getting wet. The water is a welcoming 83 degrees Fahrenheit with the air temperature a couple couple of degrees higher to control condensation. Aquatic Centre staff have the option of dropping dropping the temperature to 78 degrees in the event the pool is used for major swim competitions. Over at the tots' pool, the water is a balmy 90 degrees. The splash pad (circle of fountains) is another feature destined to be a hit with young families. Parents with small children children will also appreciate the family change room which offers plenty of space and privacy. Fitness Room .
