COVID-19 Update

We continue to closely monitor the updates from the Government, Lifesaving Victoria, the Department of Education and other sources of information on COVID-19 and unfortunately, some aspects of our operations will remain closed under the government regulations, until further notice.

From Tuesday 9 June the Centre will roll out a staged approach for lap swimming members only. We are currently planning how we can manage these restrictions and put in best practice procedures with our main focuses being hygiene and a safe environment for members and staff.

Stage 1 – from Tuesday 9 June.

The Centre will be open for Lap Swimming Members in Stage 1 during the following times:

6.00am – 9.30am Monday to Friday

3.30pm – 7.30pm Monday to Friday  

A booking system is being developed so members can book 45 minute sessions between 6am and 9am or half hour sessions between 9 and 9.30am. Membership cards must be shown on entry. An $8 fee per swim will apply, card payments only please.

Information about how to make bookings, and the hygiene measures the Centre will require members to abide by to access the pool will be available later this week.

Swimming memberships

All current (3, 6 and 12 month) swimming memberships and 10 visit passes will remain suspended until we can offer more swim times.

The Centre will not be taking new memberships during this stage.

The Learn-to-Swim and Dive program remain closed.

All payments and deposits will be honoured and Learn-to-Swim days will be held for when we return. We do understand that changes of days or times may be required, and we will endeavour to send out options for you when we are sure this program will go ahead.

If families wish to have their deposits or term payments refunded, you can apply for a request of credit here.
