Doug Ellis Pool Monash University (Clayton)

The Doug Ellis Swimming Pool at Monash University Clayton comprises three heated indoor pools under the one roof. All pools are open to the public and in addition to general swimming, learn to swim lessons, squad training, infant aquatics, adult learn to swim lessons, tri-swim squad training, fun days and swimming carnivals.

There are two 25 metre, 6 lane indoor heated pools, one of which has a "variable depth" floor. This means that the floor can be adjusted so that the effective depth of the pool is anywhere from 0 to 2.1 metres, making it equally suitable for beach entry family activities and for sports like waterpolo and SCUBA diving.

The main 25 metre pool, has a free form leisure pool attached, accomodating both lap swimming and small children. There is also a spa, sauna and steam room which adds another dimension to the family aquatic experience.

Our centre provides the Monash community and general public with a facility that is virtually unmatched in the area for flexibility and quality.
