Our pools cater to the local community, and schools across the Sydney LGA deliver their swimming carnivals early in the new school term.

We always look forward to seeing a fun and competitive atmosphere amongst the future generation of swimmers. On carnival days, students have a chance to race in our iconic pools, in a supportive atmosphere, while parents and families socialise.

Lap swimming

These upcoming events will impact our lane availability, so it is recommended patrons check these on our website when planning a visit to the pool.

Aqua classes

A number of Aqua classes may experience changes in time or location. We apologise for any inconvenience and assure you that we will make every effort to minimise any cancellations. For the latest timetable updates, kindly check your customer portal.
