GRANBY Aquam made it possible for the city to be equipped with quality equipment aimed for a large public. In 2021, this aquatic centre will be able to host introductory diving courses and competitions for different levels of swimming and diving events including the Quebec games. It will also be possible to accommodate water polo players at the junior or amateur level. Our experts were also careful to respect the city’s desire to host artistic swimming competitions. Thus, a podium has been installed around the deep end of the pool.
These multi-purpose aquatic facilities consist of both recreational and competitive pools. To do this, our team of specialists drew up a list of all the client’s desired activities during the pre-project stage, and then submitted personalized and functional proposals that met the regulations.
Aquam’s contribution to this project was complemented by recommending the acquisition of various recreational equipment for the users. It will be possible to do aquafitness or aquatic stationary biking, to amuse the children in the WIBIT inflatable games, and even to optimize storage with the equipment provided for this purpose.
Splash landing waterslide Installing a 5-meter splash landing waterslide enhances the recreational offering. Fun and safe, it pleases both the young and old alike. This slide has a close flume of 3 metres, then the rest is uncovered to allow swimmers to anticipate their arrival in the splash zone. This alternative has the advantage of being more economical.
Water-time system Slide timing system This equipment allows for well-managed slide traffic, which makes it even safer. The HydroSport light system tells swimmers when it is permissible to climb the stairs to slide safely. It also offers the possibility to see the duration of the slide time. This is a fun option for swimmers who want to improve their time or break records posted on the electronic scoreboard.
Paragon Lifeguard Chair Versatility The Ultra lifeguard chair is the sensible choice for multibasin water centres. Upon request, it is possible to acquire this model in different colours: blue, yellow, red, green, etc. It then becomes easy to set up a surveillance zone specific to each colour to optimize security.
Quality Aquatic facility owners love this chair for its quality, and aesthetics. The stainless-steel structure is covered with a powder-coated paint that has been designed to provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Climbing wall Originality The city will encourage many swimmers to move differently with the installation of a 5-metre-high climbing wall which is accessible from the competitive pool. The transparent model was favoured for its luminosity and in order to harmonize with the aquatic centre’s architecture.
3 m diving board Specialized equipment It will be possible for swimmers to learn how to dive. Aquam specialists advised the city to install a 3-metre springboard that meets FINA standards. Granby has been equipped with a durable, safe and easy-to-maintain diving board.
Starting blocks Successful start The installation of ten starting blocks with track start allows for local, regional or provincial level competitions since they also comply with FINA standards. Outlets located under the pool deck are used to connect timing devices.
RIMOUSKI The Desjardins Sports complex is a great exemplary project that Aquam is proud to have contributed to, from its conception to its inauguration. This project aimed at providing the city of Rimouski with a ten-lane semi-Olympic pool and a 1.2-metre-deep recreational pool. The construction of a lazy river and a water playground, the installation of diving boards, platforms, lifeguard chairs and a timing system complete the aquatic facilities.
Lazy River Functionality The purpose of this custom-built bridge is to safely connect the two areas of the kino river.
Customization This stainless-steel construction adds a unique architectural appeal to aquatic facilities. The structure has been covered with a polyester powder coating which effectively protects against corrosion.
Diving boards In order to offer variety to swimmers of different levels, it was decided to install both a one-metre and a three-metre diving board.
Barricade
Daktronics system
Security
Video display
Our specialist’s suggestion to install a barricade delineating the two pools was retained in order to optimize the general safety of the swimmers. Also, this option reduces the number of lifeguards required when only one pool is being used.
This system is specialized for the aquatic sector and is used to display the results of swimming, diving and water polo competitions in addition to being able to broadcast information and advertising content.
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT Whether it’s for the addition of a slide, a water playground or for all your small projects, our specialists and their attention to detail will guide you during the design phase, the sale, and the installation. Aquam takes care of everything!
Water playground Dieppe Aquatic and Sports Centre New Brunswick The project goal was to equip the aquatic centre with water games that would suit a young and varied clientele while respecting a limited budget. Our team took up the challenge by suggesting versatile structures that allow young and old alike to have fun in the pool water. These game structures can entertain many children at once.
Pirate ship Aquam designed this playful fibreglass pirate ship that includes a slide, cannons and water jets.
Umbrella All swimmers can laugh and have fun around the umbrella. This water game does not take up much space and is durable thanks to its stainless-steel pole and fibreglass dome.
Toddler slide Younger children will have hours of fun with their friends with this safe, bright blue slide! Made of fibreglass, it is an accessible piece of equipment that can be moved as needed.
Custom play structures
Starting blocks
Sylvan lake
Blainville Aquatic Recreation Centre
Although the dimensions of the pool deck and the pool depth caused several constraints, Aquam was able to custom design a slide for the Sylvan Lake Aquatic Centre. This model significantly improves the recreational offering of their facility. The double slide maximizes the space occupied by the structure and it can accommodate a good number of swimmers of all ages. These swimmers will likely challenge themselves to be the first in the water.
For their swimming competitions, Blainville relies on this model of starting blocks which were carefully installed by us and which meets all International Swimming Federation (FINA) criteria. Its cable outlets which connect timing devices are concealed inside the base. These custom, orange-coated starting blocks combine comfort and performance with trackstart technology.
