We have a variety of swimming pools and wellness facilities for members and non-members to dip into.
Our aquatic areas are supervised by qualified lifeguards at all times.
Whether you're looking to learn to swim though our swimming lessons; get fit through our aquatic group fitness or lap swimming; have fun with the kids with AquaPlay (an indoor aquatic play area) as well as our water slides; take part in a school program; or just unwind in our sauna and steam rooms – we have something for everyone at the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre.
