Centennial Pool just barely beat Dalplex once again this year. With its affordable rates, high wood-panelled ceiling, walls of windows letting in natural light and six lanes of clear blue water, the pool is to all of you who believe swimming is not just a sport for the summertime. And, says pool manager Kate Ahern, “it’s the cleanest, and it’s got a 10-metre platform.” For the high diver in all of you, Centennial’s way up there. 1970 Gottingen, 490-7219
1st runner-up: Dalplex, 6260 South, 494-3372
2nd runner-up: Dartmouth Sportsplex, 110 Wyse, 464-2600
