Swimming lessons for Thornhill.
Thornhill sits immediately north of Steeles Avenue, straddling the Markham and Vaughan sides of Yonge Street. Double Time Swim Club's pool is a short distance south of that boundary at 155 Hilda Avenue, which makes it one of the closest coached swimming options for a lot of Thornhill households.
Crossing Steeles also crosses a municipal boundary, which is worth knowing: Toronto recreation programs price and prioritise by residency, whereas a private club does not.
Why the municipal boundary matters
Families living north of Steeles often find that Toronto-run swimming programs are harder to get into, while York Region options fill up just as quickly. It is a common reason Thornhill parents end up searching further afield.
A club booking sidesteps that entirely. You pick the program and the time slot directly — there is no residency tier and no registration-day lottery.
A straight run down Yonge
From Thornhill the trip is south on Yonge, across Steeles, then a block west onto Hilda Avenue. There is parking on site, which matters for an 8:00 PM weekday lesson.
The Saturday 9:00 AM slot is the easiest for families coming from further north, before the day's traffic builds up.
Progression, not just lessons
For Thornhill families whose children have outgrown recreational levels, the useful part is that the same club continues into pre-competitive work — strokes swum legally, starts, turns and pacing.
Adults from Thornhill use the same evening slots for technique work and conditioning.
