LA SOURCE AQUACLUB - TREMBLANT'S WATER WONDERLAND  

Nestled in the Pedestrian Village Centre at Intrawest's Tremblant Resort, under the Cabriolet open air gondola, is La Source Aquaclub, a full facility fitness club and pool complex that's a Water Wonderland for families at this premier Quebec vacation destination.

Although open year round, the winter season brings a special excitement for families enjoying the indoor mountain themed swimming pool  at La Source.  An outdoor heated pool, open in the summer and full fitness centre featuring the latest equipment and fitness consultants are also part of the facility.

The thrill of skiing one minute then frolicking in over 400,000 litres of water in two kiddie pools, two hot tubs and the main indoor pool was one of the highlights of our recent visit to Tremblant. 

The easy climb slide in one of the kiddie pools offers a sliding good time for young ones.   This slide is great for toddlers and young children since riders don't get submerged at the bottom, landing on a cushioned mat.  Young children take pleasure in playing in the warm shallow waters of this pool under the watchful eye of their parents. 

Bridges connecting the indoor pool's island to the "main land" create cave-like tunnels that include basketball nets on either side.  Balls were available for shooting hoops.  Our game of water basketball was a grudge match of kids vs. parents.  Of course the kids won (we couldn't stop laughing).  The island also features a mountain waterfall and slide.  The bridges are one of the spots where lifeguards supervise all the fun.

A popular attraction at the indoor pool is the Tarzan-like rope swing.   Kids line up to grab the rope, swing out over the water and drop into the pool again and again.  The drop zone is roped off from the main pool and lifeguards ensure that the "Swingers" observe safety rules.  I just couldn't figure out where kids get the energy from as I watched my boys dangle on the rope at least 20 times during our three hour adventure at La Source.

One of the "Coolest" elements at the complex is the Rock Jump.  Even I had to try this one.  A ledge provides a jumping platform for those "brave" enough to take the leap.  While I fully expected my boys to enjoy this feature, I was amazed to see a three year old little girl (mom was waiting in the water for her) hesitantly edge out and splash into the water below.  She must have enjoyed it though because I saw her do it at least four more times!!

Adults get a special treat in the winter as the outdoor hot tub is reserved just for them.  Soaking away some of those sore muscles as steam rises all around let us participate in some lively conversations with other parents about the virtues of La Source as a Water Wonderland and the Tremblant Resort as a Winter Wonderland.
