Important PARC Swim Update: Main 50m Pool closure 30 June – 27 July

May 29, 2025

Dear PARC Swim Members,

Please be advised of facility upgrades that will impact some PARC Swim members.

Rolling Tiling Upgrades – 50m Pool Closure

You will have noticed the planned and essential tile replacement works continuing this term as we strive to keep PARC at its best.

Specialised facilities, like PARC, require regular upgrades to ensure the life of the building remains fit-for-purpose and safe for the community. Now 10 years old, the building has seen incredible usage and we are now embarking on an important stage in our tile replacement project.

The Main 50m Pool will be closed from Monday 30 June – Sunday 27 July inclusive (4 week closure period).

The planned works include tile replacement on the bulk heads at each end of the 50m pool, along with the re-earthing of the 50m pool fixtures. We are also using this closure period to upgrade our balance tank support structure. These essential upgrades will help ensure an improved experience for all our visitors, into the future.

What services are impacted?

CLOSED: The 50m pool will be closed from Monday 30 June until Sunday 27 July inclusive, reopening on Monday 28 July.
OPEN: Other aquatic facilities will remain open, including the Learn To Swim Pool, Waterslides and Aquatic Playground. PARC Swim members are welcome to use these facilities during the 50m pool closure.

What this means for PARC Swim members

PARC Swim members with classes in the 50m pool (shallow end)

If your class is in the shallow end of the main 50m pool, you will not have scheduled classes from June 30 to July 27 (inclusive). Your Xplor Customer Portal schedule will not show any classes for this period. Lessons will return on Monday 28 July.

All members who have classes in the shallow end of the main 50m pool will receive a ‘no debit period’ during this time so you will not be charged for the month.

PARC Swim members with classes in the Learn To Swim (LTS) pool

If your PARC Swim class is scheduled in the LTS pool, your classes will continue as per normal during the 50m pool closure, and your invoice period will remain the same.

To check where your class is scheduled, please refer to your Xplor Customer Portal, or see the quick reference table below.

Here to support you

We recognise that the 50m pool closure will be a short-term disruption and we thank you for your patience as we undergo these essential upgrades. If you have any questions, please email us at parc.swim@peninsulaleisure.com.au.

With thanks,
The PARC Swim team

Important Centre Update: Main Pool Hall Closure
Thursday 31 July, back open on Monday 18 August

Please be advised that the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August to allow for essential, unplanned boiler replacement works. During this period, there will also be no hot water to the showers Centre-wide.

One of the most important systems in our facility is the boiler system, which heats our pools and showers. Unfortunately, we recently experienced an unexpected fault that impacted heating water. As a result, we’re fast-tracking a major replacement to this critical system to restore full comfort and ensure long-term reliability. To safely complete these works, the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August.

The Warm Water Pool and Spa remain operating as normal.

Please visit our website to learn more about these works and impacted services during this time: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/

If you would like to suspend your membership for the closure period, you can do so via our website: https://bit.ly/4b35AsV Suspensions used will not go towards members’ allowable suspensions days.

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we carry out this important replacement. We look forward to welcoming you back to a warmer PARC Main Pool Hall from Monday 18 August.

🏊 50m Pool reopening Monday 28 July. Water temperature is cooler than usual 🏊

Woo hoo, we`re back! 👏👏👏

We’re excited to confirm that our 50m pool will reopen, as planned, tomorrow Monday 28 July from open at 5.00am!

A huge thank you for your patience and support over the past four weeks while we completed essential tile replacement works. The upgrades are now finished and the pool is looking fantastic. The space is now even safer and more enjoyable for all our swimmers.

However, due to an unexpected and unrelated issue with our boiler system, the water temperature will be a little cooler than usual for the first few days. While it’s perfectly safe to swim, it may not suit everyone.

Here’s what you need to know:
💦 The pool is open for lap swimming and recreational use from tomorrow morning, Monday 28 July
💦 The water will feel a few degrees cooler than usual (wet suits optional 😉)
💦 Programming in the 50m pool is on hold for now, including: PARC Swim lessons (those scheduled in the 50m on Mon 28 & Tues 29 July) and Aqua Group Exercise classes (remaining in the Warm Water Pool).

We’re working hard to return temperatures to usual, and hope to resume programming on Wednesday 30 July.

For all the details, please check out our blog here: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/

Thanks again for your support and understanding over the past month. We are so excited and can’t wait to see you back in the pool (even if it is a bit cool!)
