I signed up to the Aquatic Centre, and am loving it so far. I have never had to share a lane! This is a first in my swimming experience. The 25 metre lap pools are a good depth and wide enough lanes. The diving pool is fantastic for water running and for a more casual swim. The change rooms are clean and well-looked after. The members only change room is smaller and more private, and each cubicle has a soap dispenser, which is handy if you forget things as much as I do. The spas and saunas are great. There are two large spas, which I would go in more often if they weren't mostly filled with overweight old men or kissing couples. Nothing can keep me out of the sauna though. They have a dry and a wet sauna. I frequent the dry sauna, as it is just the right temperature that you can stay in it for a reasonable time. You're sweating like crazy, but it only becomes uncomfortable after about 10 minutes for me, which is longer than I can normally bear it. This is a well planned and set out facility, with plenty of showers and drinking fountains. I only wish I was a lot younger and could play in the kid's pools, because they look fantastic. read more

I used to always come here as a young teenager with my friends and hang out by the pool, sneak in to the spa and sauna, eat greasy hot chips and zoom down the waterslides. And I always remember thinking, eww this place is gross and run down. Now that I am older I don't really come here as its not that close, but the recent upgrade and facelift has done wonders with simple improvements on existing aspects. The general signage and theme of the place is updated. The gym, kiosk and pool areas just look better in general and the roof is the big one. It doesn't make much of a difference to me reasonably, having a new roof, but they spent a lot of money on it and yeah it looks nice and bright when the sun shines through. The facilities are pretty good, with an Olympic size pool, kiddie pool and 3 medium ones with waterslides, children's activities and equipment, fountains and diving platforms from 1m to 10m. There are also spas, saunas, showers, a gym, change rooms, lockers, grandstand seating, cafe/kiosk and outdoor areas. But with the brand new Marion swimming centre a little while away, the aquatic centre ain't the only pool to swim in. read more

Great place to go on a hot day, cheaper than I thought too considering I haven't been here in about 10 years. It's smaller now though and more stripped down, everything is more open and the slides and diving boards are always closed. One downside is the spa/sauna/steam room. Sign says 15 minutes max per person yet the same people were in there naked for about 4 hours just hitting the reset button so it never turned off. Maybe there needs to be someone enforcing this rule. The lifeguards are fairly observant, and know when to pick out someone who is misbehaving (I ran to jump in and got told off even when they weren't watching, oops!) Cafe is still a bit expensive though. But you can always BYO meals. read more

Got bored children? This is an affordable way to kill a couple of hours whilst you sit next to the kiddies pool and imagine you're on a really loud, wet, chlorinated tropical island. Each pool is heated and there are different levels to cater for each age group. I'd say if you had kids above the age of 8 though they might be a bit bored once they've gone down the enormous slide or jumped off the diving board platforms more than a few times. The kids pools are nice with water fountains, giant mushrooms, a mini slide, some toys floating around and heaps of children to bump into. Change rooms are a bit chilly but clean and the canteen is very reminiscent of my primary school canteen days. Hot chips with vinegar (my fav), packets of lollies, ice cream, pies etc are all reasonably priced and will give the kids another hour of energy or two to spend in the pool before becoming so prunish you'd think they'd aged 70 years. read more

Four stars for excellent swimming instructors and the range of courses available from beginners to bronze medallion. Good diving boards and full sized Olympic pool. They also have underwater hockey and water polo. Sauna and spa rooms, gym and outdoor BBQ areas are good too. Cafe sells snacks hot food and some good smoothies. Great place to get into some serious swimming for summer. read more

This is the 3rd visit and each time have not been happy. Today the pool was only about 30 deg and there was no hot water in most of the showers. As I have problems reading without glasses I couldn't open the locker and had to get help. read more
