You can now dive-in with the family for a movie night at the Eastlink Centre.
The Eastlink Centre has put a twist on the iconic drive-in movie theatre, launching a Dive-In Movie series, where families can get in the pool and watch the movie while floating around.
They will be showing one movie every month through December, kicking off in the Halloween spirit with a showing of Hotel Transylvania on Friday, October 24th.
You will have the option to either stay in the pool or sit on dry land and watch the movie for $8, but if you wish to rent a floatie it will set you back $12 altogether.
Director of Recreation Angela Redding says they’re excited to dip their toe into a new way of utilizing the aquatics area.
“We’re thrilled to offer this series through the fall and winter as a new and creative way for families and friends to enjoy the facility. Dive-In Movies are such a fun way to bring the community together and make lasting memories.”
The movie will take place in the 50m competition pool with lifeguards on duty throughout the evening. Parents of children eight and above will be able to sneak away during the movie and use either the sauna, fitness room or steam room.
If you wish to attend the October show, doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the movie starting at 7:45 p.m.
The next Dive-In Movie is slated for November 28th, with December’s date yet to be announced.
