Chimo Pool, Burnaby

I took my son for the Parent & Tot swimming classes this past weekend and, having never been at the Chimo Pool before, was curious to see if it was baby friendly or not. I used the Women's only changeroom and was pleasantly surprised to see not only a change table fixed to the wall but also a fold down seat that resembled a carseat and had a five point harness on it. I used it to put my son in while I was getting changed so he wouldn't crawl around the change room and it worked like a charm. He just sat there swinging his chubby little legs and was just as happy as could be. My only complaint was that there was no family friendly washroom that I could see so when I needed to use the washroom the logistics of where to put my son became a bit of an issue. I didn't want to put him on the grimy washroom floor. I ended up waiting until I got home so a family friendly washroom would have been a plus.
