Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre
The Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre was the venue of the swimming, diving, water polo and synchronised swimming events during the Sydney 200 Olympic and Paralympic Game. It continues to host international, national, state and community competitions.
During the school holidays we run a variety of activities designed to keep the kids occupied including classes, games, water playground, water slide and rapid river ride.
