Main Pool Hall to reopen Monday 11 August

Updated 8 August, 1pm  

Great news! PARC’s Main Pool Hall is reopening early on Monday 11 August

We’re thrilled to share that the Main Pool Hall will reopen one week earlier than planned, on Monday 11 August!

Thanks to a smooth and speedy installation of our brand-new boiler system, we’ve been able to bring the reopening forward and get you back in the water sooner.

We’re reopening one full week earlier than planned thanks to the early arrival of parts and the smooth installation and commissioning of our new 600-kilowatt boiler. This upgraded system will provide more consistent heating across our pools and showers.

SERVICES:

  • 50m Pool – lap swimming, PARC Swim, Aqua classes and user groups return
  • Learn to Swim Pool – PARC Swim returns
  • Waterslides – fun is back!
  • Showers – are hot and flowing
  • Café – back to normal hours (8am – 7pm weekdays, 8am – 5pm weekends)

What’s reopening later?

  • Aquatic Playground – repaint works remain on track to finish in time for planned reopen on Saturday 16 August
  • Sauna – The Sauna is closed for tiling upgrades, 

What’s already open?
All other areas of the Centre, including the Warm Water Pool, Spa, Gym, Reformer Studio, and Group Exercise Rooms, continue to operate as normal.

Did you know Dry Needling/Accupuncture is available from the Compass Allied Health team, located in our Allied Health Suites

Dry needling is a technique where a very fine needle is gently inserted into tight or painful muscles to release “knots” (trigger points). These tight spots can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

The goal? It help muscles relax, move better, and feel less painful.

Who can benefit?
• Athletes & active people
• Anyone with tight or stiff muscles
• Desk-related neck or back pain
• Headaches, sciatica, jaw pain (TMJ), or joint issues

Curious if dry needling is right for you? Get in touch with Compass Allied Health to book an initial consult with Jack (Giac).
⭐️ Swimming for a cause: Meet Clinton Hosie ⭐️
 
This February, PARC Aquatic Access member Clinton Hosie is taking on a new challenge - swimming 14km to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as part of their Super Swim.
 
Every minute of every day, a child in Australia is admitted to hospital. Clinton is diving in to help bring joy, laughter, and comfort to sick kids when they need it most.
 
We love seeing you at PARC putting in the laps, Clinton - your dedication in and out of the pool is inspiring.
 
Good luck, have fun, and thank you for swimming for such an important cause!
