Shout out to Neda for being a wonderful swimming teacher to my 4yo. She's so attentive and enthusiastic with the kids and it makes a huge difference. Also love the variety of kids pools and their depth - not too deep for young ones to splash around with confidence. It never feels too busy here but always a nice community feel.

“Using the pool, spa and sauna facilities was a good experience. Staff were friendly and professional. Changing rooms were clean and tidy. The pool is an indoor heated, 25 meters in length. A smaller second pool for kids and parents. Lockers were available on request. Rates are reasonable. Car park is ample.”

“Gym got all the new equipments and everything you need. I haven't been to the pools yet. Sometimes it gets too busy and you might struggle with parking.”

“I am a member of this gym and purely use the aqua aerobics program. It is an extensive timetable giving me the flexibility to choose between at least two classes a day. Except for Saturday which only has one class at the way-too-early timeslot of 7:15am. The staff are lovely. The pool is 25M. They cap each class to 30 participants. This makes it tricky sometimes as the classes are popular and I have missed out many times in getting a spot in a class so you have to be prepared to be there 20 minutes before a class starts to ensure you get into the class. The spa and sauna are also great but you have to abide by the rules of use. They were so strict about this post the new renovation that I went to Northcote gym for a couple of years because I felt I couldn’t relax in the precious time I had to myself. But it has become less policed now so it is more relaxed again.”
