Centre Facilities

Learn to Swim Pool
Whether its learning to swim or leisurely play our Learn To Swim Pool is perfect for the little ones. It features a beach entry, Frog slide and our playful tipping buckets operate when no swimming lessons are in place.

The Learn To Swim Pool has a depth of 0.2m at beach entry, increasing to 1m at the deepest end and sits between a temperature range of 31-33 degrees.

25m Pool
Our 25m Pool is at a gradual depth of 1m increasing to 1.8m and sits at an average temperature of 27 degrees. Despite being home to many group fitness classes and swimming lessons, we aim for a minimum of at least two lanes open for public use at all times.

The space offers convenient access to family and group change areas, as well as being in prime position for the original grandstand which seats 250 people.

50m Pool
There are many key features of our 50m Pool space, in particular a design allowing for best practice DDA features. The pool itself has ramp access, is a constant depth of 1.85m, an approximate temperature of 27 degrees, and features a 2m movable boom. The boom allows the pool to be divided into 2x 25m pools when required, or to create a 33m pool for use as a water polo venue.

In order to cater for large events, the space includes a group entry, retractable seating for 550 people and group change rooms. Although the 50m Pool is available for hire, we aim to have a minimum of three lanes open for public use at all times.

Multipurpose Pool
The Multipurpose Pool is suitable for a wide range of patrons and is used for a variety of programs and services. In particular, there is a designated space for gentle/rehabilitation exercises in warm water, with a depth of 1.4m and an approximate temperature of 34 degrees.

A ramp divides the pool into two sections with handrails suitable for people with mobility concerns or using a wheelchair. Wheelchairs suitable for water-based use are available or patrons are welcome to bring their own equipment.

Space within the Multipurpose Pool is available for hire and can cater groups such as private physiotherapists and sporting groups. This space is also used for swimming lessons.

Steam and Spa
Rest and relax with our steam and spa facilities. The steam room has level access and a wide door suitable for wheelchairs. It provides a humid environment which can help improve blood circulation and alleviate some respiratory conditions. The heated atmosphere can assist in detoxing the body through increased perspiration.

The spa seats approximately 12 people, has a depth of 0.9m and an approximate temperature of 36 degrees. There is a hoist available to assist getting in and out of our spa.
