The Centre of Elgin

a great location with many facilities. nice exercise facility, lots of pools, and party spaces. Parking garage has a connection so you may avoid going outside. A smaller kids' pool with a slide is next to a larger lap pool.

I recently enrolled my kids in the swim classes, and they enjoyed them, sometimes too much, lol:) I adore this location and they provide classes for virtually anything.
