Reviews
Pool itself is good. They do cut the 50m lane down to 25m whenever im there. The toilets are the biggest issue. They smell worse than some of the public bathrooms I’ve been in. The shower stalls are partially broken and don’t look like they have been cleaned regularly.
Always a enjoyable swim at the Gungahlin leisure centre, a bit quite and calm to swim weekday during winter.
Heated pool is nice, the small children’s splash pool is heated but the children’s splash area is not heated (but required a button push to turn the cycle on, also equipped with an emergency stop button).
New addition of two blue large picnic tables inside the pool area next to the glass wall at the entry to the pool past the cafe.
Have been visiting for 4+ years and its always clean, tidy, with friendly staff at reception desk and life guards on watch.
I’ve had ongoing dispute with the lifeguards about the my children swimming in the big pool. They switch the end lane from splash and giggle to slow lane then demand the kids leave because they are ‘too disruptive’ splashing in the lane. The kids pool is so over crowded and my kids are getting their confidence in deeper water. So many of the other big pool lanes are empty and yet they ban the kids from building their confidence in an empty lane. It’s mental! Also, never allowed to practice diving unless you are enrolled in a squad lesson. How on earth are my kids meant to practice diving? Overly risk adverse here.
Also yes, some of the lifeguards could be in the military the way they bark orders at the children. I’ve had to bark back a few times.
Not as good as it looks online, only area for primary aged kids is one lousy lane on the larger pool. Splash play is only for 5 years and under. Which was not working for some time. It needs to be fixed too, not all working properly. Staff were rude upon arrival and life guards seem to hate their lives, more gossip than work. (For over an hour) If I didn’t drive an hour and a half from my small rural town just for my kids to enjoy these pools, I would have left immediately after my first interaction with staff. There’s no cafe hours listed on the site which would be incredibly helpful. They aren’t open the whole time we had been there. Also, the fact myself and my elderly relative had to pay entry when we aren’t swimming is a joke. I won’t be coming back. There is not enough bins, none near the seated area. Their bathrooms and change rooms are revolting, soap dispensers in both the showers and at the sinks not working.
Great service at the Cafe, great pool. Only small let down was the amenities (bathrooms) aren't the best, very wet and slippery, weirdly layed out toilet/shower/chamgerooms (in the men's area).
Absolutely disgusting, the floors, showers, bathrooms and change rooms are the worst I have ever seen. It always smells like urination, and I feel the centre is not properly taken care of by the managers. I have spoken to several lifeguards, swim teachers, and front desk people and they all seem like they hate working there. On the plus side the cafe has great food
I definitely won’t be coming back here again. It is just so poorly managed it’s not even the workers faults. It’s all on the manages.
"Absolutely impressed with the swimming pool in Gungahlin! The facility exceeded my expectations with its pristine cleanliness, modern amenities, and attentive staff. The crystal-clear water and well-maintained surroundings create a perfect atmosphere for a refreshing swim. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just looking to relax, this 5-star pool is a top-notch choice in Gungahlin. Highly recommended!"
YMCA run this centre well. Been using this centre for about 5 months. Change rooms are always clean. Gym is small but we'll equipped, and I rarely have to wait for a machine. Pool water is always crystal clear, and there are separate pools for kids, adults and lap swimmers . Lifeguards are attentive, and when standing together are always back to back to watch their assigned pool.
