Patrons will be able to enter through the side entrance, off the parking lot, staff confirmed.
It is still unclear at this time exactly what happened to cause the damage to the building.
The Vancouver Aquatic Centre in the West End is about 48 years old and in need of repair.
In 2014, city staff looked at the cost of renovating the facility and estimated the project to be $40 million.
There are a number of swim clubs that use the facility.
