Rejuvenation works 2026

What are the rejuvenation works and why are they necessary?

• The Centre has welcomed over 15 million visits in 15 years, and vital infrastructure including: pool liners, jet pool, steam room, sauna, change rooms and water slides, required renewal.
• Expiring Myrtha pool warranties make this the ideal time to upgrade and future-proof the facilities.
• We are also delighted to announce that we are increasing our renewable energy sources to power the venue through the heat pump degasification project.

How will these works affect Centre access?

• Not all pools or facilities will be worked on at the same time; instead, we have carefully planned the timing and made member considerations to minimise disruptions by adopting a staged approach, moving services to some of the other pools in the Centre where possible.
• If Members & Multi Visit Pass Holders find that internal availability of lap lanes do not meet their requirements, they can access alternative sites for lap swimming at no charge (e.g, Adelaide Aquatic Centre & Unley Swimming Pool) for specific activities. Simply show your Member Card at the above-mentioned pools for access and be sure to view their respective online schedules.
• The Gym, Group Fitness Rooms, Cycle Studio and Strength Conditioning Studio remain open and unaffected throughout the works.
