I swim there once or twice a month and love the heated pools. But I queried a yearly pass and was quoted $700+. Forget I'm a veteran, that is too expensive. And I'm very surprised at the substandard state of the ablutions, considering the active community & tourism we have. They're outdated, wet, smelly and even with my glasses on, I can't tell if the shower drains are mouldy or just old & worn. N...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 The toddler area at Caloundra Aquatic Centre is a great setup — it’s shaded, gated, and feels safe for little ones, with grassy spots and chairs for parents to sit around.

Staff are lovely. Indoor pool is perfect for my hydro. Not overly busy the times I go which is great. Ladies change room/toilets need a good scrub with bleach & a solid hose out.

Nice local community pool with polite, friendly and helpful staff. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her swimming classes and the play areas. They also have a lil tuck shop on site if you need a caffeine or sugar fix. There are 4 different pool setups for varying levels as well as a skate park and gym.

Perfect for those windy days where the beach isn't an option. Staff and facilities are brilliant. Even do a really yummy coffee (which is an awesome surprise). Octopus Pool is great for little ones. Bigger pools are great for more confident littlies. We LOVE this place!

When is the best time to visit Caloundra Aquatic Centre (Sunshine Coast, Australia)?

In October join the free Summer Family Fun Day with inflatables and face painting. In cooler months the splash pool can feel chilly—stick to the heated indoor pool for baby.
