Essential Safety Information Around Water

Swimming, splashing and water play can be dangerous. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED CLOSELY AT ALL TIMES AROUND WATER, even if it is shallow. Please CLICK HERE to read about our SAFETY INFORMATION and disclaimer. It is important information that you need to know, so please read it all carefully.

Glenbrook Swim Centre

The Glenbrook Swim Centre is open all year. It offers an outdoor heated 50-metre pool, heated toddler pool and an enclosed heated program pool. Please check the Leisure Centres page and their Facebook Pag e for daily updates.

Glenbrook Pool Facilities

The is something for everyone at Glenbrook Swim Centre. There are classes for all stages of life and the excellent range of facilities makes for a great day out for the whole family. Pricing is reasonable, pools are heated (so the kids actually enjoy staying in the pool and you get fewer complaints about wanting to go home!) and you can even host birthday parties here!

All Of The Pools Are Heated

Glenbrook Pool is a favourite spot for local Blue Mountains families as it serves the needs of children of all ages. The pools are heated so that you can continue lessons during the colder months in their heated enclosed program pool (with ramp access). The 50-metre pool is also heated (not quite as warm as the enclosed pool) and available during colder months in the mornings.

Children’s Playground

If kids would like a break from the pool, they might enjoy the playground equipment, situated near the 50-metre pool. Always watch your children closely as it is not far from the playground for kids to run towards the big pool.

Somewhere For The Little Ones to Cool Off – A Baby and Toddler Splash Pool

Babies and very young children also get a chance to splash and play in the heated toddlers’ pool, with spray hose (this is not always on).

Bathroom Facilities With Showers

There are clean bathroom facilities with change rooms, toilets and showers. Another great feature of Glenbrook Pool is their accessible change room (located between the men’s and women’s change rooms) with a warm shower. This room is perfect for families with young children to shower quickly and change, all in the same space.

Swimming Lessons at Glenbrook Swim Centre

Glenbrook Swim Centre provides lessons from infant aquatics classes to adult swimming lessons.

The Learn to Swim Program at Glenbrook Pool is a competency-based program. Children may progress from a Seahorse (approximately from 2 – 3 years old), Penguin (approximately preschool age), Seal (school age), Frog, Dolphin, Shark and Stroke classes. To progress from a Seal to a Frog a child should be able to swim 25 metres. To move on from a Frog to a Dolphin a child needs to be able to swim 50 metres. To advance to a Shark, he or she should be able to swim 100 metres.

Stroke development classes are also offered to fine-tune one’s swimming technique. This is great for competitive swimmers or anyone wishing to improve their proficiency in the various swimming strokes.

Holiday Passes

Swimming in the school holidays is such a lovely family activity, especially on those very hot days! It is also wonderful to meet up with friends, sometimes unexpectantly, and make swimming a social event too.

Always remember to watch your children closely at all times at the pool. Here are some important guidelines for keeping watch at public pools.
