About time SA had an Olympic sized pool! The impressive and unusual structure from the outside is…read morejust as great on the inside with an airy, spacious, clean and still with a whiff of newness environment. The complex contains many areas such as a health club, creche, shop, etc and the pool itself runs various programs and activities to suit all ages. If this is your thing and you enjoy keeping fit plus live close by then membership is probably the way to go and save some money. Families can join also but be aware the water slides are not included and will cost two dollars to go on each time, so this is one part which will add up quickly! Otherwise, the casual entry fee is reasonable for a brand new complex and if you won't be an active participant there is a $2.50 spectator entry fee. All in all a great complex operated by the YMCA. P.S Despite it being new and all, it is not immune to renegade bandaids, so if you're a bit squeamish best to wear thongs!

This is the very definition of a swimming centre, far above a simple community pool…read more It consists of multiple areas with multiple pools. Suitable for families, classes, individuals. As an indoor heated pool no time of year can you use the excuse it's 'too cold'. Slides and playgrounds are targets for children and young families, and there are slow and medium lap lanes for those wanting gentle fitness. There are also dive pools though they were not dared by the cowardly reviewer. The cafe at the front serve a selection if foods more than suitable for lunch at competitive prices, though the coffee is not something I'd get a second time. Plenty of yellow shirted lifesavers patrol giving you a sense that they take your safety seriously.

This is quite a small basic swimming pool but it isn't overcrowded. The change rooms are pretty…read moregross though and the place in general could use a facelift. They have Aqua Zumba classes which are really fun and the instructor is great. I often go to them while my mum does laps and my younger brother plays with the pool toys provided. Tip - do not trust the receptionist when you call she has not once given correct information over the phone. Things such as opening times, prices, when classes are on she has no idea what she's talking about. Also one time me and my brother went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was apparent they had put the chemicals in very recently as our eyes stung horribly for a week afterwards and the chemicals even hurt my brothers skin for a few days afterwards so I don't recommend going on Tuesdays. I sill go for the classes but for general swimming it's worth going a bit further to noarlunga

Waterworld is an outstanding swimming facility in Adelaide's north eastern area. It is one of my…read morefavourite places for lap swimming as it has a well maintained outdoor 50m pool. The place has large grassed areas and plenty for the kids including two fun water slide options. The smaller pool is only about 1m deep and is very warm. There is also a toddlers play area with plenty of shade. Waterworld caters for kids parties and they are guaranteed to have a great day. This place underwent a refurbishment around 2 years ago and it was worth the effort and $ as the facilities are now an excellent standard. Even the change rooms and shower facilities are nice. At $6 for a adult casual visit it is great value. During the day it is often quiet unless there is a large school booking. As per my tip; sometimes it pays to check their website or phone first to confirm lap lanes are available. I just wish this place was open all year around but unfortunately it is seasonal. See their website for more info on precise dates.

I made an enquiry on a weekend and they responded that night. They answered my questions and made sure I could be catered for. In the following weeks they have gone out of their way to open space and opportunity for me to work on my recovery, resulting in a significant breakthrough this morning! Thank you to all the wonderful staff who have been so helpful to me!

The swimming pool is one of the cleanest in the State, so safe in fact you can drink it...not that you'd want to do it intentionally anyway but it won't make you sick after a few accidental gulps. This summer it will be open Mon - Fri 6.00am - 8.00pm and at $3.00 per entry it's one of the cheapest in SA. The pool is not undercover so slip, slop, slap or at least go when the sun isn't at it's fiercest. Lanes are segregated to cater for swim schools, coaching, lap swimming and for generally having a fun splash. It also offers a full gym inside the complex but for futher details check out the website or phone.

This review will no doubt be close to my heart as my babies learned to swim like sharks at Balyana…read morePool. There are about 4-5 swimming schools conducted here over the week, ranging from Susan Klus, Panorama Swim School and baby dedicated swim schools with the likes of Ezy-Swim Swimming School and Judy Carboncini Swim School. When I first started my kids, we opted for Panorama Swim School only to realise that the boys weren't developing their swimming strokes. Downside of Panorama Swim School is they introduced floaties for the kids and they seem to be using them forever, even after 3 terms here. Not seeing any progress, I pulled the boys out and upon a friends' recommendation, went for Susan Klus. We never looked back sinced. Jurgen and Susan run this wonderful swimming classes at Balyana and in absence of floaties, they emply good swimming teachers and coaches and I am very proud to announce the boys can now swim without me hovering over them like an eagle, staring at their every movement. Jurgen and Susan also train swimmers in the national swimming league..if you ever need any tips or direction on swimming matters, diving etc, talk to Jurgen. As all swimming classes, choose one where the teachers will work for you and develop a good coaching relationship for your child. The pool is also popular for nearby Clapham Primary School summer swimming classes and the disability community who attends therapy classes here.
