Lap lanes, squad training, aqua fitness, learn-to-swim, a leisure pool, waterslide and AquaCastle — all under one roof.

Every pool is heated and operates continuously year-round. Book a lane, drop in for a class or bring the family any week of the year.

Waterslide, AquaCastle, spa & more
Everything that makes a day at the pool worth the drive — Canberra's only indoor waterslide, our seasonal AquaCastle, a 20-person spa, steam room and on-site crèche.
Canberra's only indoor waterslide
Indoor Waterslide
A 41 m indoor waterslide with its own run-off pool — one of our star attractions, used by more than 2,000 people a week. Lifeguarded every session it runs.
School holidays only
AquaCastle
A 17 m-plus inflatable castle with a wet slide and jump combination, floated in the leisure pool during ACT school holidays. Pure summer chaos, all year round — indoors.
Spa
A 20-person spa kept at a constant 37°C, all year round. A computerised pool management system holds the temperature, and a disabled chair lift provides full accessibility.
Pathways
Train with purpose
However you like to move in the water — we've got a program for you.
Aqua Fitness
Low-impact, high-energy aqua classes in the 25 m heated pool. Suits every fitness level — no swimming ability required.

Four strategies for water safety
Developed with the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia. Every child under 13 must be accompanied by an adult — and every family can lower drowning risk by layering these four proven strategies.
01
Supervise
Active, constant adult supervision whenever children are near water — no phone, no distractions.
02
Restrict Access
Use pool fencing, locked gates and home safety barriers to prevent unsupervised access.
03
Water Familiarity
Build water confidence early through age-appropriate swimming lessons and safe play.
04
Resuscitate
Learn and maintain CPR skills — seconds matter, and bystander resuscitation saves lives.
