🏆 Family Action Verdict
The default choice for families in Kalgoorlie or passing through the Goldfields region. The outdoor pool is well-maintained with fewer crowds and less chemical smell than larger city facilities — a genuine quality-of-swim difference. Best visited on weekday afternoons for the quietest sessions.

“So difficult to find lane availability on line ??? Disappointed that you have to ware a stupid band on your arm, it’s so annoying when doing serious lap swimming! And I don’t understand why the pool has to be converted to 25 metres with a wall ? We have visited many pools around WA , this complex is the worse run pool ! So disappointed!!”
