Ballarat Aquatic & Lifestyle Centre

During our visit in Ballarat It was raining so we had to cancel our trip to Lake Wendouree. I took kids to this place and they loved it. The warm pool for kids is the best and parents can enjoy too, they also have a small size gym and a place for kids gymnastics. Multiple pools are available, the sauna is mostly occupied seniors just like any other aquatic centre:)

I went here for a swim. The 50 mtr pool was off limits due to a big swimming club using the pool.So I went to the 25 mtr pool. That was also off limits, 1/2 the pool was full, the other 1/2 was taken by a minority swim club with only 8 swimmers and two very rude coaches. 8 kids SHOULD have used 1, maybe 2 lanes maximum, not 1/2 a pool.During a very busy time if day, this was ridiculous.Thankfully just as I was about to leave and demand a refund, myself and my 14yr old found a spot we could sit in the spa for a while.Even then, when their time was up, the swim club stayed and tried to hog the pool for another 1/2 hour.The Ballarat city council needs to do something about this.

The Romans would be jealous. Temperatures were perfect even after exercise. If you want to feel the burn, try a few laps of the 50m pool. It could use a shallow end though. Spa and sauna were awesome bonuses.

Would highly Recommend getting lessons with the ballarat aquatic centre they have outstanding swim instructors personally have delt with Hayley, polly, and Bianca to whom are Fantastic my girls love and get so excited to do their lessons. Bonus it's very affordable.

Great place with lots of different pools to choose from, the kids love the kiddie pools and the food in the cafe is decent. The only thing is that they need more family changing rooms, they are also busy and people had to queue up to use them.

Ballarat has a wonderful aquatic centre. A swimming paradise. I have swimmer envy after stopping for a swim when passing through Ballarat. Exceeds what is available in the city of Geelong.

I have been going to the Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre for about 7 years now and it has been an amazing experience. Not only are staff approachable and friendly, whenever you need help with anything they always have a solution. I have mainly been using the pool and gym at the centre but I know they offer many alternatives for if those don't interest you. I would highly recommend going here if you are thinking about trying something new that the centre offers, as I am sure that the staff will make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

This place was fantastic.A great place to take kids especially when it’s pouring outside.Only downside is that they don’t have many slides to entertain them but it’s ok.The facility was clean and well kept with life guards at every corner.Plenty of room to swim.They recommend that the low times are in the afternoon, so if you do not like crowds, post 3pm is a good time to go.We had a wonderful time.There is also a well maintained cafeteria and clean bathrooms.Heaps of parking too.Didn’t take pictures as we were enjoying ourselves.Definitely a place to go to!

We really liked our visit to the aquatic centre this week. Has lots of pool areas and a reallllly nice spa. The children's pool is lots of fun with a really cool frog slide. The whole place is quiet and very clean and well maintained. The lifeguards are nice and friendly and has heaps of change rooms. Has a kiosk with seating area for hot and cold food including coffee and hot chocolate.Has we check in codes and need to show vax status. Pricing is relatively cheap too. On a hot day this is a really nice place to be.
