* Talisman Centre is equipped to perform blood lactate testing, an advanced method of assessing and monitoring your body's response to training. We will also determine your VO₂ Max aerobic capacity, which will tell you how your body transports and uses oxygen during a workout. The results of these tests can be used to create specific power and heart rate zones that will help you maximize your training program, and tell you what kind of training will be most effective for your physiology.

Lane Size Alert: Olympic Water Polo Team at TC

The Canadian Men's Olympic Water Polo Team, who competed in the Olympics last year, are preparing for the upcoming Canadian Senior Nationals (May 27th to 30th) and for the Italian Open (July 20-26). To accommodate their requirement of a 30-metre pool, public swimming will be reduced to 20 metres on the following dates/times:

• Saturday May 15th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm
• Saturday May 22nd from 5:30pm to 9:00pm

We regret any inconvenience, and wish our national Men's Water Polo Team the best of luck!

No admittance 30 minutes before closing

Talisman Centre closes at 11:00pm during the week, and 10:00pm on weekends and holidays. In order to ensure we are able to close the facility safely and on-time, there is no admittance to the building 30 minutes before closing. This means that no new customers will be admitted after 10:30pm on weekdays or after 9:30pm on weekends and holidays. We appreciate your cooperation!

Former TC badminton instructor best in Canada!

A former Talisman Centre badminton instructor, Simeon Samuel, recently placed 2nd at the 2010 Canadian Masters Badminton Championships in the 65+ age category! Simeon can still be seen during the week here at Talisman Centre honing his skills. (His son, Marlon, is also a skilled badminton player, and also a former instructor at Talisman Centre.)

Congratulations Simeon on your incredible achievement!
