Best places: Public swimming pools in Melbourne, Australia

😐 Shocking admin team, pool staff and lifeguards are great though amazing facilities. Cafe since COVID is challenged by staff and opening hours no idea what's gone wrong there and the new payment and swim system they have added recently utterly complicated and problematic. Front desk staff only have 1...

👍👍 We had a wonderful experience in the pool, there are several big pools for kids and adults.

Water slides & swimming in an Olympic-sized indoor pool at a modern spa complex with a gym & cafe.

Roomy center featuring an outdoor swimming pool, a workout room & yoga, Pilates & other classes.

This complex features a 50-metre, outdoor heated pool, plus a gymnasium, spa, sauna & steam room.

Swim facility built in the 1960s, offering indoor & outdoor pools, a sauna, classes & day passes.

👍👍 Great facilities, very clean and friendly staff!

👍 After the renovations the complex is a delight. On this particularly hot day the pool area was an inviting oasis. There are large grassed areas with shade from trees or shade cloth structures. The 50 metre outdoor pool is divided into public swim and slow, medium and fast lanes. There was plenty of...

👍 This is my local pool. It’s clean, the staff are super friendly. Has a cafe, gym etc 1 less star because I believe the warm pool should be available more

🫤 Pretty good pool. I am a regular swimmer here and it’s my local pool. Thought I’d save some money by getting a membership because I go quite often through the week, nope, definitely not when there’s an $80 joining fee. This is absolutely ridiculous. Even without the joining fee you don’t really save...

Classes & free practice are offered at this council-administered swimming & fitness complex.

😠 Really disappointed with my experiences here, I have been treated poorly on many occasions due to my age and have been spoken down to every time I go. On one occasion I attempted to extend a 10 entry gym pass for another month because it hasn’t been used and they denied that they could do that. I am...

👍 Pros & con. Three indoor pools. The lap pool is 28⁰5, the kids pool is 32⁰ and the warm water pool is a wonderful 33⁰ and is big enough for laps. It's mostly people paddling around though. There's also a strong waterfall in the kids pool which is great for a shoulder massage. They provide a hairdry...

This community swimming complex offers 50-m., learning, shaded toddlers & diving pools.

😐 Reasonably priced. The change rooms are always so dirty though. The family ones in particular were awful. Step up your cleaning guys.

🫤 Nice pool but poor attitude of the young life guards. I was in the family change room showering my 3 young kids when one of the tall, young blond, male life guards came banging on the door really hard yelling we had been in there too long. My middle child had just come out and I was in there showeri...

😠 The worst staff on receptions, one of them talking to the phone, the other two left the reception with a big line of people waiting, did not care or explain why. We were waiting there for 15 min. Just saying sorry, someone will come soon. Sorry for what? Staff go and back in a mess way. I will neve...

😠 I recently discovered this facility to have alarmingly lax public health procedure, as in virtually none. I discovered a poo in the pool, while doing laps on a public holiday, with many people in the pool, I saw it at the bottom of the pool touched it with my foot, my suspicions were correct, It was...

😠 If you are a woman and enjoy going to the sauna.... please AVOID this place. On several occasions I’ve felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in the sauna as it is infested with a gang of close knit men who have very inappropriate loud conversations In a colourful language with each other. No regard o...

😠 The pool police operate here.. Tried speaking to the manager on the day but they were too busy to handle a complaint so here it is.. Get your staff to talk nicely to patrons and not patronize them .. I was about to bring my 4 year old daughter into the spa and had this old rude woman tell me how...
