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.

Magill Sports Centre is a part of the UniSA Magill campus and offers excellent recreational…read morefacilities not only to the students but also to the general public. 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.

Out of school term the mornings are filled with life saving lessons, and during term there are learn to swim classes in the afternoons, but the rest of the time you'll pretty much own the pool. The staff are friendly, the prices are from another era ($4 students/concession), there's a gym and a shower block inside and plenty of parking (on the street is free).

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 ARC at Campbelltown is a community recreation centre offering a gymnasium, cafe, two swimming…read morepools for lessons, recreation and kids fun, a number of courts for many sports as well as conference facilities. A recent complete overhaul/rebuild has resulted in an impressive building, both inside and outside, with some common sense decor, lots of light and glass, and a feeling of space. The common areas have some very comfortable seating, kind of in shapes of jig saw pieces, which aren't bolted to the floor so you can move them together or apart depending on whom you're sitting with. Upstairs, with seating overlooking the courts, there are three sitting levels or rather three carpeted steps allowing for some comfortable and complete viewing. We came for the Murder City Roller Girls bout between the Dames and Valkyire. My kids have never seen roller derby and were rather confused but I like to expose them to a bit of everything and it was an enjoyable Sunday evening outing. Their foundation memberships start at just under $14 per week which also makes them great value and competitive with all gyms even though they offer so much more.

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.

A State Swim location, I have many memories of going up the ranks in swimming lessons at…read moreClovercrest. The teachers were always lovely, encouraging, young, fit and nice. Class sizes are quite small and run for around 45 minutes with 15 levels from water babies to squad gold and every water animal named in between. Having so many levels means you get to move up often and feel as though you have achieved something, receiving awards and opportunities to enter competitions. This particular pool centre has a large pool with lanes, diving boards, blocks, learning equipment, ladders (as you'd hope) and sometimes has fun blow up equipment during school holidays for public and member usage.

Certainly not as glam as other Adelaide pools, but this one has everything you could ask for from a…read morepublic outside swim centre: wasps, a kiosk, a kiddy pool, lifeguards, and of course, a lot of people wearing speedo's and bikinis who really really shouldn't be. The best thing about Payneham Pool is that you can almost always get a lane to yourself for lap swimming (as long as you don't go during swim carnivals obviously), I like being able to rock up at my leisure and have a lane of my own. This place has enough room for kids and adults to swim and have a good day without fearing for their lives: this is not so much the case at the big leisure centres that are packed with madness and slides. The staff here are really nice (as you don't dive over the lane ropes, don't do that), and there's heaps of shaded grass areas to hang out in. It's a beautiful day and a nice relaxed vibe, dive on in.

I have had heaps of summer holiday days here with friends where the pool gives out fun equipment like inner tubes, beach balls, volleyball nets and floating mats. It's not too busy usually, and there is plenty of outside grass area with some benches to chill out. But bring the sunscreen because there isn't much shade. Now that the aquatic centre had been improved, as well as Marion swimming centre with watersides and more pools etc, payneham doesn't receive much attention, and it could use some upgrading itself.
