FAQs
Event FAQs
The short answers on tickets, times and what to expect on the weekend.
Do I need a ticket?
Only for the pools. The Community, Stadium and Health Club zones are open to everyone, so just turn up. To go into the pool area you need a free, pre-booked ticket. That includes the leisure pool, 50m pool, warm water pool, spa, steam room and sauna.
Who needs a pool ticket?
Every person in your group, including children and anyone watching from poolside. You can book up to 6 tickets in one transaction.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Entry is free and so are the pool tickets.
How do I book a pool ticket?
Use any booking button on this page. It takes you to Eventbrite, where you choose your day and session. Tickets are limited, so book early.
Can I book more than one session?
No. There is a strict limit of one session per person or group, so as many locals as possible get a swim. Bookings for more than one session will be cancelled.
What are the pool session times?
There are three sessions each day, Saturday and Sunday: 11:00am to 12:30pm, 1:00pm to 2:30pm and 3:00pm to 4:30pm.
What are the supervision rules for children?
Our standard Aquatic Supervision Policy applies. Children aged 0 to 5 and non-swimmers must be within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian in the water, with one adult for every two children. Children aged 6 to 10 must be closely and actively supervised by an adult who is ready to get in the water. Children aged 11 to 12 need a parent or guardian watching them at all times. Children aged 13 and over can swim unsupervised.
What’s on if I don’t have a pool ticket?
Food trucks, community marquees, face painting and kids activities out the front. Sports to try and an inflatable obstacle course in the stadium. Classes to try, demonstrations and giveaways in the Health Club.
How do I get there, and is there parking?
Alkimos Station on the Yanchep Line is a 1 to 3 minute walk away, and bus routes 485, 486, 491 and 492 stop there. On-site parking is available but will be in high demand. There is more parking in the surrounding streets, so please check the signs.
Will there be photos and filming?
Yes. By coming along you agree that you may be filmed, photographed or recorded, and that AARC, BlueFit and the City of Wanneroo may use this for marketing and promotion.
Is the centre open yet?
Not yet. This weekend is a community celebration before we officially open the doors.
