Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

The pool complex is closed in July; the 25m pool is closed during the winter swimming season.
In the summer months, the complex is routinely fully booked out for school carnivals.

Facility Reviews

Upgraded, clean showers at an extra cost of 20¢ for hot water. Plenty of space in changing room. Pool lanes marked as fast, medium, and slow. On my visit, very fit and fast swimmers.
This pool is well run, with efficient and friendly management. The timetable on its website could be kept up to date better, but the whiteboard at the entrance is the bible and is always current. Lane etiquette here is excellent and, sensibly, speeds are enforced only when busy.

On weekdays, the quietest times are between 10 AM and noon, and between 1 and 3 PM.

Due to the frequency of school carnivals in the summer months, it’s best to ring and check on Monday to plan your swimming for the week ahead.

Hot water in the showers is now free. There are no lockers but it feels very safe.
