Leisurelink’s full array of aquatic facilities are open following the completion of the major upgrade of the 50-metre pool. 

The Council-funded works project delivered a new tiled concrete pool and improvements to the waterslide splash park concourse and storage.

Activities and classes have returned to Leisurelink including Webstar’s Swim School lessons.

Mayor Stephanie Asher said the project was indicative of Council’s focus on upgrading ageing facilities across the region.  

Council has made a multi-year commitment to continually increase the amount of funds we allocate on revitalising older infrastructure across Greater Geelong. Leisurelink is our busiest aquatic facility and this upgrade will ensure it continues to serve the community for many years to come.

Cr Peter Murrihy chair of the Leisure and Recreation portfolio thanked members and aquatic users for their patience while the upgrade was delivered.

The addition of the new 50-metre pool provide the best facilities for our residents to swim exercise and to undertake vital rehabilitation programs. We look forward to seeing you back in the pool soon.

To celebrate the reopening of our pool facilities residents are invited to visit Leisurelink for a free afternoon of fun on Sunday 19 June from 1pm to 4pm.

Free activities on offer include:

• Waterslides and aquatic games
