Indoor Pool Upgrades COMMENCE 27 January 2021

Maintenance and Upgrade Works

The indoor pool area at Beatty Park is getting a significant makeover, with fresh tiling, water treatment plan, Aboriginal artwork and exciting new water features set to be installed over the coming months.

Works will commence on Wednesday 27 January 2021 and will take up to 5 months to complete. Estimated completion date is early July 2021.

The following items are included in the scope of works;

Retiling of the entire indoor pool in a fresh new colour scheme and artwork by a local Aboriginal artist
Installation of new indoor pool water treatment system
Upgrade of water features and slides;
Upgrade of change rooms in the indoor pool area including new accessible change rooms, change cubicles and on deck showers
General pool deck maintenance (seating, reticulation, painting, handrails, etc).

Space will be made available in the outdoor pools where possible during the renovation but will be limited during peak periods. Updates to pool space will be provided regularly on the web page below.

Lap Lane Availability

There is the possibility of closures to the Spa, Sauna steam room area during indoor pool demolition works and also during a possible upgrade of that area. These closures will be communicated to patrons as soon as dates are confirmed.

The rest of the facility will continue to operate as normal with a reduced Swim School program to be held entirely in the outdoor pools when it recommences in Feb 2021

This is an exciting project to ensure Beatty Park is able to provide a fun, safe, compliant and fit for purpose facility into the future.

The indoor pool will be closed for approximately 5 months depending on how the work being carried out progresses. Completion date is expected in late June early July 2021

Why is the pool closed?

Since the pool was last upgraded in 2012 there have been a number of maintenance issues that have arisen which can only be undertaken by completely emptying the pool. We have taken this opportunity to do a full renovation of the area including pool water treatment system, water features, change rooms, seating, lighting and a few other minor maintenance items.

Why close the pool during the summer?

Closing the indoor pool during the warmer months allows us to continue offering programs in the outdoor pools which we would not be able to do in winter

How the indoor pool maintenance and upgrades affect Parent and Baby swimming lessons.

How long will the indoor pool be closed?

The indoor pool will be closed for approximately 5 months depending on the work being carried out.

Will baby lessons continue?

No. As the indoor pool is closed and the outdoor pools are 27 degrees we cannot run the Parent/Baby classes.

The Parent/Baby lessons that are suspended will be reactivated when the indoor pool is up and running. We will contact all of these patrons once we are aware of the recommencement date.

Will I get my same time and day?

We will endeavour for all suspended lessons to return to the same day and time. Due to children age out of their level this may not always be possible.

What if I don't want to recommence after my suspension?

At this time you will be able to cancel the lessons if you do not wish to recommence.

Will my lesson remain the same time when we are in the outdoor pools?

Unfortunately due to ongoing bookings in some of the pools we may need to move some times. We will be contacting patrons who may have to change their lessons.

What if I haven't cancelled and my child decides they do not want to swim outside?

If you have not cancelled then decide that you do not wish to swim outside we would encourage you to come to the Swim School and have a chat with our friendly staff about your options.

If I cancel will I get my same time and day when I wish to re-enrol?

Whilst we will always endeavour to place anyone enrolling or re-enrolling in their preferred day and time it may mean you will be waitlisted until a vacancy occurs.

What happens when it starts getting cold?

As we start heading toward the cooler months, we will be reassessing our lessons with the best interest of our patrons in mind and keeping everyone fully informed.

Is it safe outside for children?

The Swim School is very safety focused and as such we will have extra staff on hand in and out of the water to supervise and monitor all of the lessons.
