Lovely swimming centre with plenty of shade and excellent facilities. Staff were very friendly and eager to help. The shallow end of the big pool was significantly deeper than I was expecting. However, I discovered that one of the smaller pools was the exact depth I felt comfortable in. This was my first time at a public pool in over 15 years.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children of all ages during spring and summer when the outdoor pool is at full capacity. Warm water, clean facilities, and multiple pool depths make it accessible from toddlers through strong swimmers. Reduced winter hours limit weekday access for working families in cooler months.

β€œStaff are helpful and friendly and the pool is kept in excellent condition. The temperature of the water is ideal. My only disappointment, which I appreciate is essentially a funding issue, relates to the reduced hours over winter. Would love it to have normal or at least close to normal hours over winter as well as summer similar to Melbourne’s Hawthorn Aquatic Centre. Unfortunately the reduced winter hours make it very difficult for me to get more than 1- 2 swims in a week due to my work schedule.”
