Buoy oh buoy I like salt water swimming, and as far as I know this is the only pool in Toronto that provides the saline experience. In a time when I may have slightly skewed my salty dog: salty swim ratio, the steam room here was also a crucial part of my workout, as were the long lingering afternoons around the change room pretending to be "one of the gals."*
The secret to fitting in is to get nude and stay nude. And clean your toes really well.
My only qualm about this gym was that the walkway crosses in front of all the aerobic machines, so you're prone to the occasional leer. By and large, though, lovely staff and patrons. Plus a nice vibe of all-around community center.
