Safety and Inclusivity Top Priority for Tieri Aquatic Centre

Opening Hours

Normal operating hours for the general public are Monday to Friday between 9am – 12pm and 2.30pm – 5.30pm, and 1.30pm – 5.30pm on weekends and during school holidays. This is when there are lifeguards on duty, lessons are available (see below) and you can use kids club facilities for FREE! They have two session options available during the week: 9am -10.30am and 10.45am – 12.15pm. If you work or have other commitments and can’t get to the pool during normal hours, don’t worry – you don’t have to miss out! You can access the pool outside of general opening, at the following times:

The pool is unsupervised out of hours, so you’ll need to do a quick assessment by the team – including a 100m swim – and fill out a waiver and medical form. From there, you’ll be given a swipe card to access the centre at a time that suits you. During Term 4, the pool will be closed on Wednesdays between 8am – 2.30pm for school swimming lessons.

Membership Options

Whether you have a fixed training schedule, work Week-On-Week-Off, are looking for a family day out, or simply fancy a splash in the pool only when temperatures soar, there’s a membership option to suit you.

Weekly: $14.40
Monthly: $39
3-month: $167 for a family including 2 adults and any dependent children / $94 adults / $37 children
6-month seasonal: $278 family / $151 adult / $61 children

If you don’t want to sign up for membership, you can pay as you go. Single entry is $3.80 for adults, $3.30 for children, and under-3s and spectators can go along for free!

Lesson Options

If you’re ready to take your (or your family’s) swimming skills to the next level, then the Aquatic Centre has something for you. From parents and bubs, to stroke development, squad sessions, Learn-to-Swim for adults to Access with Inclusions, the five fully qualified and experienced instructors offer lessons Monday to Thursday, in the morning or afternoons. There are three different pools available for different swimmers: the baby pool, the medium pool that the kids can stand up in, and the full 50m pool.

Safety First

All the instructors, along with lifeguard Janis Prout, are vigilant about reminding adults to follow the Keep Watch program. “We want everyone to have fun and that means staying safe,” explains Belynda Perkins, instructor and lifeguard at the pool.

Anything can happen at any time, and often in split seconds which is why all children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and we ask all adults to keep watch. For babies and children aged five or younger, we ask parents and carers to give their full attention and always stay within arms reach so you’re ready to respond if needed. And for six to 11 year olds, adults should keep active supervision – don’t sit and read a book.

The team is also committed to maintaining a COVID-safe environment for the Tieri community. Everyone needs to sanitise their hands at the gate, check in via the Check-In QLD App, shower before swimming and keep social distancing in mind. “If everyone follows these simple steps, we remain a safe place for the people of Tieri to come and relax, play or train.”
