Swimming & Aquatic Centres
Gold Coast City Council operates seven aquatic centres across the city. The pool complexes vary in size and facilities and offer the community a large range of aquatic activities from toddler swimming lessons to fitness squad training for the elite athlete.
All aquatic centres are operated by onsite managers and have qualified staff on duty, disabled access and full kiosk facilities. Aquatic centres have chair lift access into one pool at each facility.
Operating hours and activities are subject to change. Confirmation of details is available from pool managers.
Please note: the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre at Southport closed on 25 February 2013 for Commonwealth Games redevelopment. It will reopen in September 2014.
