Slow, medium or fast, we’ve got a lane for you.
Swimming is fantastic for all-round health and fitness. Doing laps in the pool uses nearly all your muscle groups and reduces stress, increases flexibility and improves coordination, balance and posture.
At different times of the day, lap lanes may be limited or closed to accommodate special events. We'll notify you before the closure date.
Otherwise, there are always lap lanes available for lap swimming. Even during peak times, when swimming lessons are occurring, there will be lanes available for members and visitors.
We recommend you check the lap lane availability below before you visit our pools.
Our swimming areas are supervised by qualified lifeguards at all times and we are an accredited Watch Around Water centre, meaning there are guidelines (see below) that must be followed when visiting us. We also offer accessible facilities including aquatic hoists, disabled changing rooms etc.
Lap lane availability
The below schedule is based on our permanent bookings, however we sometimes have school lessons in during the day too.
For further information, feel free to contact us.

All Children under the age of 10 MUST be accompanied into the centre by a responsible person 16 and over. All children MUST be actively supervised by an adult over the age of 18 at all times. The adult must have a clear and active view of the child with no physical or structural barriers between them (this includes tech and devices).
All children MUST wear a yellow wristband supplied by GRAC staff to help identify their age while swimming. Groups will not be admitted entry where the number of parents/guardians supervising a group of children under 10 years exceeds the ratio of 1:4.

All birthday party participants must wear a BLUE wristband AND an age based wristband (pink or yellow) to identify their participation in a party (effective September 1 2019). The adult guardian of the birthday party child MUST remain accessible and actively supervise the group at all times.
