ETS and TriClub in 2010


For general details on the 2010 Facility Enhancement project, and how it may affect you, please consult our main 2010 FAQ.


  • How did you determine which classes would remain, and which ones would be on hiatus for 2010?
    A number of factors were carefully considered in order to create a schedule for 2010. We will be unable to use any of the gyms or pools that are currently found under the tented portion of Talisman Centre. The space that will be available must be shared by members, the public, and Talisman Centre’s Sport Partners. (To mitigate this strain, there will be no public drop-ins after 3:00pm.) In addition, the available parking lot space will be significantly reduced, and the childcare services that many of our group fitness participants rely on will not be offered in 2010. Since our facility will not be able to accommodate the same number of customers as we currently do, we have adjusted our schedule accordingly, so that the customers will continue to enjoy the best possible experience at Talisman Centre through 2010. Back to questions.
  • When will the schedule change for ETS and TriClub?
    The 2010 schedule will take effect on January 1st, 2010. Back to questions.
  • What is the TriClub and ETS schedule for 2010?
    Please see the schedule below. (Note: The white space in this schedule indicates that the time is reserved by Group Fitness classes, one of Talisman Centre’s Sport Partners or other User Groups, and does not represent available space. This schedule was accurate at the time of publication, but is subject to change.)

  • What is the difference between “Tri Swimming” and “TriClub Swimming”?
    “Tri Swimming” and “TriClub Swimming” are different classes. Although they will both be coached by TriClub staff, “Tri Swimming” is open to non-TriClub members, and “TriClub Swimming” is for Club Members only. Back to questions.
  • Will the classes that are on hiatus in 2010 return in 2011?
    It is our intention to return as many existing classes as possible when the main tented portion of Talisman Centre re-opens in 2011. We will not have exact details or scheduling information until we are closer to that grand re-opening date. Back to questions.
  • Where will the classes be located?
    Tri swim classes will be located in the aquatic complex & the run and bike sessions will be located in the mezzanine. See the 2010 maps below:

  • Where will the showers and change rooms be?
    There will be change rooms and showers during 2010, on both the Aquatic and Dryland sides of Talisman Centre, although there will not be an Executive Locker Room during this time. On the dryland side, locker rooms and showers will be located where the executive locker room is currently located. On the aquatic side, the locker rooms will be where the Foundation Lounge currently is, and showers will be built on the pool deck. Back to questions.
  • How many parking spots will there be?
    Due to the large laydown for the construction trailers, cranes and other equipment, Talisman Centre’s parking lot will be reduced to between 170 and 200 parking stalls onsite. Of course, we are across Macleod Trail from the Erlton C-Train station, and the #10 bus stops near the entrance to our parking lot. The #3 bus stops on 4th street, which is a short walk from Talisman Centre through Lindsay Park. (See map below.)

  • What will the classes look like in 2011?
    We are currently planning the classes and times for 2011. With the facility reopening on January 1, 2011, our intention is to phase programs that will be on a hiatus back into the building between January 1 - September 30, 2010. Programs remaining in 2010 will undergo a space change as we come out of construction and back into operation in 2011. This plan will be communicated to customers in late 2010 as construction comes to a close. Back to questions.
