Aquanation Aquatics

Aquatic facilities

Whether you are a toddler or a lap swimmer, Aquanation has something for you. Our indoor, 10 lane, 50m pool provides a great environment for lap swimming, Aquatic Education, Aqua Aerobics and general leisure. The pool also has an adjustable boom, which provides us with the flexibility to create 25m lanes when needed.


The 50m pool has an adjacent, state-of the-art diving pool with a depth of 5 metres.
The fun factor is taken care of at Aquanation, with a customised children’s aquatic play area. There are separate sections for toddlers, leisure and an amazing aquatic playground, which is sure to provide you with a ‘wow’ factor!

Our warm water pool provides those with injuries or aching limbs the perfect place to relax and rehabilitate. Here, you can enjoy the health benefits of using a pool with higher temperatures, or you can simply take it easy in the spa. Please note there is limited space available when group fitness classes are running.


Aquanation will proudly provide a designated learn-to-swim pool. With warmer temperatures and shallower depths, this area will be used primarily for aquatic education classes and other aquatic programs. Large groups will have access to separate change facilities.


If you are a thrill seeker, then our waterslides will be sure to excite you! Aquanation is home to two enclosed waterslides, including an exhilarating drop slide! Please see our opening times to ensure you can make the most of this extreme attraction.

Lap and recreational swimming

Lap swimming is a great way to improve fitness, strength and endurance, in a low-impact environment. This means it is also great for joints and injury rehabilitation. Limited equipment, including kickboards and pull buoys are available for public use during opening hours.


To ensure your lap swimming session is an enjoyable one, please follow our Lap Lane Etiquette:
  • Please ensure you are aware of the lap lane speeds and swim in an appropriate lane; or
  • Select a lane based on your ability and the stroke you intend to swim – including staying out of lap lanes if your intention is to do water-running or similar
  • Always swim to the left of the lane – allowing others to pass if needed
  • Always enter the water feet first
  • Be mindful of other swimmers sharing your lane
  • Always start, turn and stop at the wall.
  • Please follow Aquanation staff direction – if asked to move to another lane, please do not be offended
  • Always return equipment to its storage

Lane availability

We are committed to ensuring lap lanes are available to members and the general public for lap swimming or general recreational use.

Aquanation’s lap lane availability will be available online when the centre opens and will be updated regularly to reflect Aquanation programs and services. Please note that this is a guide only and is subject to change at short notice.

Watch Around Water

In order to ensure adequate supervision of children at all times in our facility, Aquanation follows the ‘Watch Around Water’ policy. The Watch Around Water policy ensures all Aquanation members and patrons have a safe and enjoyable time in and around the water.


Watch Around Water is based on the premise that it is unrealistic to expect lifeguards to provide the constant and close supervision required for each young child at the pool at all times. Although lifeguards are present, the responsibility of supervision of children is primarily with parents/guardians.


Lifeguards and other Aquanation staff will provide an important safety feature, but they are not intended to, and cannot be expected to replace the close supervision of parents which is required for many children. Public awareness needs to ensure that adults in the community understand that supervision of children in the water must be direct, competent and alert.


Drowning is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 in Australia. Watch Around Water promotes consistent supervision policies that must be adhered to at all times at Aquanation.
Aquanation has adopted the following policies:
  • Children under the age of five must be within arm’s reach of a responsible adult at all times while in the centre.
  • Children under the age of ten must be accompanied into the Centre by an responsible adult and actively supervised at all times (within line of sight).
All unsupervised children will be removed from the water.
