What makes it 88% Kids-Friendly: Kids get fenced splash zone, shallow rock pool, inflatables on event days and learn-to-swim classes; lifeguards and family passes help, yet slides and large water playgrounds are absent.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Long enough for swim, play in the splash park, and a snack break without overtiring the kids.
Splash Pool Fun:
Let kids paddle and play in the zero-depth splash pool under shade sails.
Tip: Bring pool shoes; the water can feel cool on cloudy days.
Rock Pool Exploration:
Kids can wade and jump between gently flowing rock pools.
Tip: Use the grassy seating nearby for easy supervision and snack breaks.
Summer Family Fun Day:
Join free entry event in October with face painting, food trucks, and inflatables.
Tip: Arrive early at 10 am for the best spot on the inflatables.
Rackley Learn-to-Swim Lessons:
Enroll children aged 3+ in structured swim classes led by qualified instructors.
Tip: Book lessons online weeks in advance to secure morning spots.
Family Pool Party:
Reserve a private area and splash pool for birthday parties and celebrations.
Tip: Contact the centre 2 weeks ahead to confirm availability and pricing.

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.

Several children were commenting on how cold ...

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!
Visit on weekday mornings from May to September for warmer water in the indoor pool. Plan for the Summer Family Fun Day on October 11 for free activities.
