Thebarton Aquatic Centre

Don't recommend this place at all - the pool isn't very clean and neither are the toilets/change rooms. Staff on front counter give misleading information or just don't seem to know which lanes are free for lap swimming, and lifeguards are nowhere to be seen. Go to a pool where the lifeguards actually watch you to make sure you and the people around you are safe.

On the numerous occasions I have been there I have seen lifeguards standing around talking, jumping around behind equipment (hiding?? Bunking off??) and spend more time in their office near the pool than actually by the pool. It was only when I started swimming elsewhere that I realised that lifeguards are actually supposed to watch the pool and be poolside at all times - these seem more interested in having conversations than doing their jobs.
