Canterbury Aquatic & Fitness Centre

All 3 pools were clear water, although there is only shade for the indoor heated approx 15M pool.
The gym is clean and nice.
The start are ok and usually helpful.

BUT, make no mistake, the lifeguards regularly annouce over the speakers that water bombing, deliberate splashing/disrupting other swimmers in their lanes, running on concrete and parents assuming the lifeguard is responsible for their child will NOT be tolerated.
At all times there are regular announcements advising between certain age groups to be within hands reach of your children if very young.
They will ask you to leave if you do not supervise your child/ren.

Not much to say here, horrible!

Life guards are extreamly rude and so are the staff

Don’t take young kids here as I took my daughter and she was not allowed to swim as the lifeguard said she looked to you and I needed to go in the water with her. I refused as I didn’t have my swimmers.

My daughter is 5 years old and has had swimming lessons since 2 years and also now has a pool in her own backyard. She is a wonderful swimmer and was not allowed in the pool during a birthday party we attended

Go to botany or des renforn Guys

This one is a true dud ??

You know when u get falsely accused for an action u didn't commit? Well as a teen my experience was horrible and disgusted by the life guards. I'm not the type of person to run around pools or do front flips, I came for leisure swimming with my family. Than I get pulled up by a life guard saying "you've won a prize door" and I was confused and said what. He said a ticket to way out. This gave me a great shock since the only reason he accused me was for "black top" I'd come here as often as I can but with these life guard I choose not to.

I cam here at the weekend with my 5 year old cousin. the pools seemed very clear to me. There are 3 different ones. A toddler pool that is outside and covered and only about 2 feet deep. there is a very very warm in door pool and this is under a meter deep. This was full of children and had a life guard on it at all times.
The out door pool had a few different lanes and a a free swim area. You can tell the pool is a area is a little older but sill good for $6 and free parking. the grounds have some palm trees for shade.

The pools are really dirty and very crowded. The water aid- we were not allowed to borrow. Sucked
