New Bundaberg Aquatic Centre
New Bundaberg Aquatic Centre what families can expect
The new Bundaberg Aquatic Centre is shaping up to be a game changer for families in Bundaberg and surrounds. Located at 1 Pyefinch Boulevard (near Walker Street), this bright, modern facility promises swimming, fitness, therapy and casual water fun for all ages and abilities.
This facility isn’t just for competitive swimmers it’s designed for everyday families, school-aged kids, toddlers, even babies. With accessible pools, warm-water therapy and learn-to-swim programs, the Aquatic Centre aims to be inclusive and welcoming.
What the Centre Includes
- A covered 50-metre, 10-lane pool built to international standards perfect for lap swimmers and competitive training.
- An indoor 25-metre, 8-lane heated lap pool, ideal for recreational swimming all year round.
- A heated 25-metre “program pool” for learn-to-swim lessons, aquatic exercise classes, water therapy, and gentle water-based activity temperature and depth are kinder for younger or older users.
- Accessibility features: ramps, lifts/hoists, accessible change rooms making sure people with mobility needs can comfortably use the pools.
- Additional amenities like a café, multipurpose rooms, and wellness spaces including a studio for classes such as reformer Pilates.
Why It Matters for Bundaberg Families
This centre isn’t just about sport it’s about community, health and giving local kids a safe, modern spot to build swimming confidence. Families who may have travelled outside of Bundaberg for quality pools will soon have a top-class facility on their doorstep.
For children learning to swim, the warm-water program pool and the baby play-group sessions (like the “Splish Splash” class for babies aged 3–6 months) mean early water confidence in a supportive environment.
For older kids, teens or adults, the 50 m and 25 m pools open up opportunities for fitness, lap swimming, squads and maybe eventually competitive swimming right here in town.
And for families wanting low-cost, year-round activity swimming, therapy, social catch-ups at the café the centre offers an inviting, climate-controlled space that’s often rare locally, especially during hot summers or rainy days.
When It Opens & What to Do Before Then
The Aquatic Centre is expected to open soon, though the exact date has not been announced publicly yet. If you’re keen, you can sign up early and keep an eye on their social media or website for the official opening date, membership offers and family-friendly programs.
