1 / 3Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre (BRAC)
📍 Broome, WA
8-lane 25m heated lap pool with lagoon pool, retractable shade structure, skate park, pump track, undercover basketball courts, tennis courts, and sports oval. Suitable for all ages.
I was visiting Broome and found this pool when looking for a place to swim laps. It’s a really well maintained, 8 lane x 25m heated lap pool attached to a relaxing lagoon type pool. It’s covered by a retractable shade structure, which apparently shades the pool on most days due to the strong sun. The pool was spotlessly clean, the water temp was great, and the lifeguards were friendly. When I visited in the morning (before noon), all the lanes were available for lap swimming and there were only a couple of other people there. FYI, there’s showers/changing rooms inside the main gym building as well as in the small building right next to the pool. I’m not sure if lockers are available, but most people just kept their personal belongings on the pool deck. Also, for those without a car, the pool is located at one of the stops on the Broome Explorer bus route (the only bus in town). Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great place to swim laps (or splash around in the lagoon pool) in Broome!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for active families wanting a full day of varied activity. Lap swimmers and water play suit the pool complex, older kids gravitate to the skate park and basketball courts. The pump track suits intermediate riders — young children on bikes need supervision due to uneven surfaces and divots.

“I was curious to see the sporting grounds at the Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre. I want just wanted to walk and jog around the footy oval as many times as I could. The undercover basketball courts are amazing and so are the tennis courts. Soccer field. The grounds are beautifully managed. Trees to relax under, Plenty parking too It's absolutely fantastic.”

“A really nice and tidy place to relax on hot days. The only thing I would change is to uncover the pool a little, as it would be great to catch some sunshine while enjoying the water👍”
