“The competition 50m pool very incredibly fast. Cool water salted chlorine water helps with buoyancy in competitive swimming, as well as the three meter deep pools. The pools and facilities were also nice, clean bathrooms and showers but it would be nicer if the showers could have temperature change. Additionally, SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre uses the best of the best technologies: precise Swiss Timing touchpads, OSB-11 diving blocks and STARTTIME-V starters. This place has inspired me and changed my perspective on local state facilities within Adelaide. Even my eleven-year-old son loves swimming in the kiddie pools, he’s trying to become a competitive swimming one day, and SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre is definitely helping. Thanks for this greater place, Jason”

“I am a competitor coming from Victoria, the pool is great, please keep the 3 metre depth, the pool is a little salty but nothing a swimming can’t handle, the staff are lovely, didn’t like my friends celebration but overall are very helpful!”
