Centenary Aquatic Centre & Health Club

Positive experience: Great place. Especially the driving boards

Negative experience: Took the kids for a swim, only the lanes were open, didn't let us know tried to swim but wasn't able too

Fantastic experience: Friendly Staff, great pool and you can enjoy a coffee with friends.

Fantastic experience: Great pool and gym. Could do with better bike racks, but the reception is at pool level and has no view of the racks...

Fantastic experience: Nice place for kids and adults. Love the place. And staff are friendly. Thinking of celebrating my lil one’s birthday

Fantastic experience: Great pools with plenty of space to lounge and cool off on a hot day. The children's pool at the centenary aquatic centre has plenty of shade and the right depth for the kids to go for a dip and to enjoy the cool water on a hot day. Great value for families with kids

Fantastic experience: Love this pool. Always clean, amenities are great, has coffee and snack bar. Staff friendly and welcoming. I also like that it has lane allocation.

Positive experience: 50 metre salt water pool which is a nice change from chorine. Clean pool, sun shines on the water in the morning in August. Large changeroom. A big disadvantage is there no grass area to sunbake relax or hang out after a swim. There's only small chairs and a very small artificial grass area or the hard concrete stalls. This is strange for a hot city. 3.5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Loved visiting as a child with my dad and sister now years on I thought it had closed down and passed as did my dad, no more fun for us......................Till just now when I saw ad on maps I am so excited that I can now visit again with my 3 children there dad and mine always watching not too far away see you soon for a swim/dive!!

Fantastic experience: What truly sets aquatic centre apart is its commitment to excellence in customer service and facility maintenance.From the friendly smiles of the staff at front desk to the pool instructor or coach.Swim lessons tailored to all ages and skill levels. Perfect enviornment for honing your skills and improving your technique. It is not centre only it is paradise, offering a haven of fun, fitness and relaxation for individuals and families alike. Special Thanks to Hanna, Ella and Andres

Fantastic experience: Great staff awesome people

Negative experience: I went with my family and we had a very bad experience. The employees are rude, We asked if they had a heated pool and they said yes but when we entered they told us that we couldn't use it because there was a children's class. The pools were dirty, the bathrooms with broken glass taped together. The green floors are very slippery. It is not a family place at all.

Positive experience: What a great old pool. Heaps. Of history. I officiated at this pool couple of days ago ,good customer service. Car parking a disaster. No where enough spots for a medium size event.

Fantastic experience: Great facility

Fantastic experience: Toilet floors need cleaning more often but other than that, it is great!

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite swimming pool in the city. Convenient location, free parking, friendly staff, long working hours. This swimming pool is working all year around even in winter months. That’s super!

Positive experience: Professional pool. Very clean and well maintained. 50m pool. 10m diving board and a pool for children learning to swim. The only downside is if you're going for an extended event and sitting in the stands the seats are concrete. Tad uncomfortable bring your own cushions.

Fantastic experience: Great pool diving boards, nice park.

Positive experience: Good clean pool, parking does get busy

Fantastic experience: Brisbane icon. Dive tower open 1pm to 3pm on summer school holidays.

Fantastic experience: Well organised great spot to swim laps, shower off and head to work. Pool is heated all year round. Just check the pool times as they can be different to the gym opening hours. Pool will have school carnivals from time to time also which limits access.

Fantastic experience: Had a really good experience here just $2.00 (thank you BCC!). I haven’t been swimming for years and really enjoyed the morning utilising the slow and medium paced lanes.

Fantastic experience: One of the best pools in Brisbane, modern facilities, friendly staff and great coffee! Lots resting areas for sunbathing, plenty table and chairs for coffee and snacks. Diving pool is great fun and rarely seen elsewhere in Brisbane.

Fantastic experience: james birrell at his provocative quirky poetic best challenged by renewal and an ablution upgrade without detracting from an evocative refreshing immersion

Fantastic experience: Staff are great, pool is clean. Adults and kids both get their fill. Probably my favourite BCC pool in Brisbane.

Fantastic experience: Cosy little gym facility and large pool. The upper gym can get busy and available equipment may be limited, but the separate back/underground gym is much quieter. Gym patrons usually respect equipment, use towels and clean touch surfaces after themselves. Main pool often has dedicated lanes for differing ability levels (unless squad training or other events are on). There is a ramp to enter/exit the pool if required for accessibility. Shower and change facilities are generally clean and tidy.

Fantastic experience: The pool is great, though deep to 2.1m, so may not suit everyone, especially if you are here to do water exercises. It can get pretty busy at times and lanes can get a bit hectic, but off-peak its usually very quiet. There is plenty of parking, including blue badge spwace a for disabled people, and there is alsonfilk access to the facility for disabled people.

Fantastic experience: Paid $13 for entrance (2 heads) Which gives access to all pools already. Perfect for the hot day. Was feeling hungry so decided to try their food. We got the Chips, 2 Bacon & Egg Roll + Flat White & Cappuccino. I had low expectations but damn! Everything was good $29 for food well spent! Also the coffee was so good! Props to the cashier/barista

Fantastic experience: The boys and I need a cool down

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Le personnel est adorable, agréable moment dans cette piscine. Les douches sont top et il y a assez d’espace pour tout le monde.

Fantastic experience: Nice

Positive experience: Swim here regularly.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience

Fantastic experience: Good Pool. Parking can be a nightmare.

Positive experience: Nobody knows who said what everyone had a different answer

Negative experience: Terrible customer service, staff not knowledgeable. Location is convenient though

Fantastic experience: Loved the diving pool

Negative experience: Amature and condescending customer service, terrible enough to ruin the whole experience. I will not be recommending this aquatic centre moving forward.

Fantastic experience: My son likes this place to have his swimming lessons here and have fun in the water. A very good place for the whole family.

Fantastic experience: It real.good with the jumping from the high tower and then the splash into the water and the deepest of the deep pool go accept me and its wet

Negative experience: Policy at this facility is to allow Rackley as many lanes as they want, leaving a minimum of one lane to the public. For some reason, management continues to refuse to update the online lane availability. I guess they want to waste their time taking calls.

Negative experience: Very poor experience, got turned away from my free trial after walking 20 minutes to get there. One of the two ladies working behind the desk was very rude, mean and very condescending... If U are visiting Brisbane from another state stay away from this aquatic Centre.

Positive experience: Great facility. Parking is very fluctuating and can be a bit hard. Staff is very friendly and change rooms are always clean.

Fantastic experience: Great pool, friendly people. Even when it is packed you can hop in and get to swimming. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Terrible parking. No matter when you come here car park is full. Ost have parked from nearby schools and aren't even at the pool. DO NOT come during school hours or you'll regret it

Fantastic experience: The toddler rackley swim school trail today was great. My daughter had lots of fun.

Positive experience: In my day we didn't need water to swim....H2o wasn't even heard of. I can remember after a big session years ago....near starvation and buying Milko's, Chico's and Red Skins and washing them down with a Sunny-Boy...but not anymore. Allen's decided not to make them anymore....What Happen?? Don't emaciated kids with bad teeth go to the pool these days?

Fantastic experience: This has been one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The view is great, equipment is good, felt comfortable and the staff are so friendly. Shout out to Mel and her hard work

Fantastic experience: Really happy with my membership, the staff are so accomodating, professional and friendly. Thank you Mel, you are always on the look out to help. To Nicole, Jenny & team - love the way you deal with members and visitors alike. Special shout out to Tom who puts in the extra effort to make HIIT classes fun and different catering to all ages and levels.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful swimming pool. I really enjoyed swimming there.

Fantastic experience: Great pool , lots of covered shade to chill between swimming lots of parking

Positive experience: Definitely worth giving your kids the experience of diving from heights. My 11 to 13 year olds loved the diving pool and having a baby pool nearby under the shade was also really helpful. On the Saturday we went there was plenty of parking. Diving pool was open from 1 PM to 3 PM. Check their website for open times or call ahead if uncertain to make sure you time it right. Two hours was just enough time for the kids to wear themselves out.

Fantastic experience: This gym is truly special. Lots of gyms talk about inclusion and friendliness but nothing can beat this community. Not only have I seen results and reset my relationship with exercise but I’m doing it in a supportive and kind environment. Mel, Tom and Sarah are second the none for advice, motivation and a friendly face. Try the fun classes, social club or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of your own routine.

Positive experience: Très bien

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for any level swimmers.

Positive experience: Clean facilities, older outdoor pool, staff were friendly, water nice and warm

Fantastic experience: Clean and quiet. Great lap pool.

Negative experience: Good place for swimming but won’t recommend joining the gym as they have 6 months minimum contract. Parking is an issue. You will end up making rounds in the parking everytime

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, friendly gym with personal and thoughtful staff. Sigi in particular is an absolute delight and makes every effort to ensure you get the most out of your experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Loved this aquatic centre. 50m pool, clean and clear. Gym facilities too. If you’re a diver there’s a specialty pool for you to do your thing. If you’re a toddler enjoy your own circular swim pool. If you don’t swim the coffee is good. Something for everyone. Try not to clash with the swim squad times by looking up their timetable first.

Positive experience: It was quiet so enjoyable for my boys and for little babys first swim. Ages 9YO, 2YO and 15 weeks. We went as pool guests not at the swimming lessons but was invitedto use the swimming lessons pool after lessons were completed. I couldn't imagine it in summer when its busy as its an extremely small center. Pools are heated during the winter which was nice. Not much a selection of hot foods, more junk food like crisps and lollies. It has a pool wheelchair access. 10$ - 15$ entry for ALL of us. 3 kids 2 adults. All in all something fun to do.

Positive experience: Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the front counter staff are consistently a little unfriendly. But the main pool & female change/toilet/shower area are always reasonably clean so will be returning. The free parking makes it less stressful to visit here too.

Fantastic experience: Great kids swimming lessons they kept on them but still in a kind enough way so that the kids didnt hate them

Fantastic experience: The pool is incredibly well refurbished and has a great new aesthetic. The diving boards are the only accessible diving boards that the general public can use. Its fanstastic!

Fantastic experience: During the wet period we just had was surprised how much less congested the lanes were was a nice surprised as being 71 i do like to do at my own pace some days my fitness levels very from one day to another just dont like people passing me makes me feel in the way usually pick medium lane as slow lane i finf i am passing others usuallt sus out medium lane to ss what other swimmers are doing lol hate it when all doing freestyle then when i get in some on changes to breast stroke makes you feel unwelcome lol think maybe have to get over the feeling of being in the way admittedly majority of the time can do my laps at my own lleasure and not feel pressured to keep up those days for me are over o yes parking there is fantastic

Fantastic experience: Lots of parking, a gym and fitness classes

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: Clean facilities, friendly staff, convenient opening hours. There are many classes like HIIT and yoga included in the membership. Also unlimited access to the Olympic pool and the gym are included in the membership.

Fantastic experience: Great open air pool ‍♂️ nice to have a 50 meter length

Fantastic experience: Would be great if they had float belts and shower stools to for my clients with accessibility issues.

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Great swimming lessons

Positive experience: Nearly drowned, first steps to getting fit! Fabulous facility!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome, relaxing

Positive experience: It's a great place to take the kids on a hot summer day...

Fantastic experience: Very nice place

Fantastic experience: Relaxing

Fantastic experience: Great place for kids to get trained

Positive experience: Could be benefit from somewhere else for you get kids to swim that is not a lane in the lap pool, but obviously limited by space and location. Overall lessons are good although cramped in a small pool

Negative experience: The facilities are great, it's such a shame you can barely use them. You are heavily restricted from using the diving blocks. You are not allowed to dive or flip from them regardless of age or skill level, and you are not even allowed to jump from the 10 metre block. The diving pool is only open to the public from 1-3pm on Saturdays and it appears to be only aimed at small children. I completely understand not wanting children attempting things above their skill level but this practice seriously excludes older age groups who have come to actually practice diving etc... This issue could be so easily fixed if they just opened the diving blocks to adults at a different time to the children's time slot. I know of many people teenagers and above who are looking for a place just like this to work on their diving and flips. I hope Centenary pools take this criticism and try to improve their facility.

Negative experience: Unreliable for 50m lap swimming. I started swimming here three months ago. At first, I reviewed the 50m lap lane availability schedule on their website but soon found out that the schedule is meaningless. I would show up and the wall would be up or I would start my swim and the wall would go up halfway through even though the schedule says the 50m lane is open. So I started calling before my swims - every time I would ask, "is your 50m lap lane open and what time will it close?" When the answer was yes and there was plenty of time to swim I would come in, but soon found out the front desk was not reliable for this information. Today, for the third time in 2 weeks, the wall has gone up during my swim, after I called to confirm the 50m lanes were available, and almost two hours before the scheduled 50m lap lane closure. So it seems that no time is a good bet if you want to swim the 50m lanes. My best guess is that everything here seems to revolve around "squad" and the 25m wall goes up whenever the guy that puts it up everyday feels like it. I think it must be the last job he does before going home as today it went up as early as ever for no apparent reason. I don't know, I can't figure it out but I'm certainly looking for a more reliable option so I can plan my training. Very unfortunate as its a nice facility.

Positive experience: Nice and clean pool to relax. Friendly staff and trainers. Swimming lessons are good. Lots of free parking space. Great place for kids and adults swimming lessons

Positive experience: Service was shocking went for a hot chocolate and the server was ngaged in a long conversation with a customer. Went bach later and got one and 4 sips and the cup was empty except for froth. Disapointed.

Fantastic experience: Great for serious swimming and swimming lessons with Rackley Swimming School. If you're looking for a fun place for the kids, head to Newmarket Pool instead.

Fantastic experience: Love the group fitness classes especially the bootcamps. Also weights room is top notch

Fantastic experience: Good pool hidden in the big smoke

Fantastic experience: Great place for kids to get trained

Fantastic experience: Good place and very kind teaching.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Centenary for the last four years. This year has been a struggle to get to the gym for various reasons but the revamp has breathed new energy into my motivation! It’s clean well spaced and really mindful members. The trainers are so professional and happy to lend a hand at anytime to keep you on track! Such a covid friendly gym! You can’t go wrong!

Fantastic experience: 30years ago it was great ,first time I seen it in that time,so many sun filled days with hot chicks and learning days of swagger and cool so can't wait to jump off the ten metres,,,are adult diapers considered swimming trunks

Fantastic experience: The pools are very nicely maintained and very friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Really nice swimming pool that is still open during COV-19 times. There are fast, medium and slow lanes.

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and helpful. The facilities are old but sufficient. The pools are a great temperature. Love swimming here.
