FAQ
Can my child swim in the deep end?
Swimmers entering the deep water may be required to wear a PFD or complete a swim test.
What are the different public swim types?
Open Swim: a time for anyone to come. The entire pool is available including all the amenities.
Family Swim/Lane Swim: A quieter/calmer swim time where the pool is a shared space. Children and youth must be accompanied by an adult. A minimum of two lanes will be set out for lane swim. Not all amenities will be available during this swim; deep end may not open if all lanes are in use.
Do you have Life Jackets (PFDs) at the pool?
Yes, PFDs are available for use during your swim time at no charge.
Lockers are available for day use, you must bring your own lock.
Can I rent the pool for a private function
Private pool rental are available for a maximum of 1 hour during rental slots.
Do you close the pool in bad weather?
Closures are determined by temperature (below 18 °C), air quality and extreme weather (stormy, heavy rain, lightning / thunder).
Should you hear thunder or see lightning the pool will be cleared and all patrons will be asked to move into the changerooms. You will be asked to wait 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder or strike of lighting (which ever is later) as observed by the lifeguard. You have the option to wait in the sheltered area or leave the facility.
The pool capacity is 90. On hot summer days we often reach capacity and recommend arriving early - you can line up 15 mins before the start of the swim. In 2023 we welcomed over 4200 swimmers to public swim. Evening swims and family swims are typically quieter swim times.
