Newmarket Olympic Pool

Fantastic experience: Excellent for the children. Water slides, Heated pool etc. Cheap family day out.

Negative experience: Do the city concil's facilities belong to swimming school? General entry kids are not allowed in the indoor pool in winter, the reason gave me is the indoor pools are for classes only. The parents who don't want to swim and just supervise their kids have to pay the entry fee also. Is this reasonable? As my opion, one star is genous enough for such a pool like this.

Fantastic experience: Clean, quite , friendly staff

Positive experience: A fun family friendly swimming pool. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Kids really enjoyed it. The water is so clean.

Fantastic experience: Staff are always friendly, the pool is awesome and it always feels clean, the only downside is the fact it closes for almost 3 months of the year.

Fantastic experience: Always a great place to relax and have a swim. Plenty to do for the kids of all ages. Classes. Very clean amenities and great canteen.

Fantastic experience: I had my daughter's birthday party at Newmarket Pool and she absolutely love it. There were so many different areas for the kids to enjoy and explore, such as the slides, inflatable rocket and the playground. The staff were lovely and very accommodating to all our request. A great pool to visit!

Fantastic experience: Lovely place to cool off, slide that kids love but does have a $3 cost. Everything is cheap as well. $3 for small chips and slushie. Heated pool, and a kids and toddler area. This place is awesome, definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This place is the actual BEST. My autistic 4yo daughter gets to run around multiple kid pools, safely explore amazing slides, fountains and all with so much space and shade available. My elder 10yo daughter loves the giant slide, Olympic pool and snacks. AND it has a great little playground and picnic tables, too! Truly a special place. An absolute gem of Brisbane city. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Классный бассейн. Большая территория. Много маленьких бассейнов для маленьких деток. Есть 1 небольшая горка. Достаточно чисто.

Fantastic experience: Piscine très agréable pour les enfants de tous les âges et très peu chère durant la période des vacances : 2 dollars !!

Fantastic experience: Perfect for kids and adults. A few options for toddlers to swim and a playground as well.

Fantastic experience: A great place for families. There is a café. There are a variety of water games for children, and the water is warm and refreshing at the same time

Fantastic experience: Plenty of water activities for kids, different pools with different themes and the Olympic pool has a great space. Has a food stall but didn't purchase anything. Kids had a lot of fun and also we did!

Fantastic experience: Great public pool, great for young children and adults. Slides, water fountains, big bucket is fun, playground if you don't want to swim. Many life guards and friendly staff

Positive experience: Lots of fun for the kids

Positive experience: A great toddler swim area. Definitely needs more seating undercover or shade sails . The toilets are grotty.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome swimming location. Indoor pool, massive outdoor pool, big slide, three medium slides, two kiddie slides and a baby play area. So much for the kids to enjoy!!

Fantastic experience: It’s a really good and cheap day out, I think it’s only $8 for the day and even cheaper for kids. There are free swim areas, a heated pool, lanes to train and a little water park for kids. Definitely worth the visit.

Negative experience: Pool was sick, lots of room for activities but wasn't allowed to use the blow up, blue sausage because I was 'too old'. Need more fun things for adults to do.

Fantastic experience: Really good for such a cheap price. With both an indoor pool and a huge outdoor pool, this place is huge. There are many fun activities for you to enjoy such as a giant slide and a giant rocket that you can test your balance, which provides hours of fun. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short due to a storm, but we had a great time.

Positive experience: Tbh I bring my kid here because I love the hot chips the pools are all pretty good in my opinion, as someone who barely swims but I like going down the slides. Only critique is they should let adults on the inflatable rubber tube thing, you know - the one you try and run as far along it as you can. I could beat most of these kids if they would let me on Those kids have no balance skills

Fantastic experience: Great pool - plenty of options for the kids to play in the water, huge lap pool (some would say Olympic size), friendly staff. Perfect spot to cool down during these hot days! Every kid in Brisbane was there today, go early to beat the crowds.

Positive experience: Never had any issues with the lovely staff and the facilities are fine. Only let down is swimming on a weekday during the holidays, probably around 2:30pm, and they only had 4 lanes of the 50m pool open. Which over 12 adults were sharing. Not very nice when you see all the other facilities for children and families to use but they let them take up 2/3 of the only 50m pool.

Fantastic experience: Great place to come with kids - so many things to do. Entry this Summer is currently $2 per person which is amazing.

Fantastic experience: It is an absolutely beautiful set of pools, slides, waterfalls, and adventure. Great for the day or parties. Always clean and hygienic. Plenty of seating and tables. Food and drinks plus ice cream and snacks available. It is a wonderful place to spend much of your time during summer. Heated pool for winter laps too. A real family favourite for us.

Fantastic experience: Staff are super friendly and helpful, lessons are good and they have great kid water spaces.

Positive experience: New changes to the indoor pool depth make it hard for the tall people to do acqua aerobics.

Fantastic experience: Awesome

Negative experience: Please get more organised with your front office.....

Negative experience: Dont come to this pool, very dirty and poor management.

Negative experience: Bad customer service and other pools are better

Fantastic experience: Great. Good pools and exercise centre.

Fantastic experience: Clean and tidy pool, with a bonus waterslide and friendly staff too

Fantastic experience: It is a best place for special children to learn swimming.

Negative experience: Couldn't find the pool cues to play pool with. Had to improvise with brooms. It was a pretty shoddy game but I won so it wasn't terrible.

Positive experience: Lovely cu with one of my besties ❤ And our lovely teen boys get on well too.

Negative experience: website says 25m pool open but not open. no apology from staff, blamed it on the "IT guy".

Fantastic experience: Slides for all ages... I think 13+ will have fun of not go to much (ie a novelty). My 6 had loads of fun!

Negative experience: 1 star for the petulant "professional" swimming coach. Being related to the owner doesn't mean he can be so disgustingly rude.

Positive experience: Did swimming lessons here, not bad but all the slides and playgrounds are pretty lame if your over the age of 10. For swimming practise it is good.

Positive experience: I like useing the hydro pool, however when i try to call to get available times the phone rings out, goes to msg bank. The msg says 'please leave yr name and number and someone will get back to you shortly... tried ringing for days, left numerous msgs. No one got back to me.... took pot luck and just turned up to see if the pool was available.

Negative experience: Being open only until 6 means there is absolutely no way of getting here after work in the week. Please consider extending your opening hours to at least 7:30. Most pools in Adelaide and Perth are open until 9-10 pm. Why here in Brisbane do pools close so early, and frequently close on Sunday?

Negative experience: Aggressive staff. Not recommended. Today my wife and I took a sneaky arvo off work and decided to go for a swim at the outdoor 50m pool. We found an empty lane (4th lane) and started swimming slowly. After ~10 mins or so, squad teens started to arrive and put their bags down at the end of the lanes including the lane we were in. Reading between the lines I figured they wanted the lane. The next one over (5th lane) was free, we moved over out of curtesy. The youths sat on the bleachers and had a lesson or coaching session or something then started jumping into the lane we had moved into. As I was swimming, I found two girls swimming towards me and my wife. The middle aged male coach, claiming to be the manager - later found to be the manger son - asked me to ‘get out - get out in a really aggressive way. I refused and asked why should I get out. He rudely said the lane is reserved for training. Didn’t I see the sign? I said there was no sign (genuinely, there wasn't any) and the guy become aggressive and abusive. He went from zero to 100 in seconds. He said the girls pay big money to be here, he hasn’t seen me here before, what are you doing here, get YOUR MONEY AND OUT! Etc. I asked him to show where the sign is and the guy angrily went into the office and pulled out a white boardi said lane reserved for squad 4-6pm weekdays and then put it at the end of the pool. IT WAS NOT OUT BEFORE THIS POINT. I approached the office lady who irritably confirmed that guy is the manger and said that the lanes are ALWAYS reserved from 4 in the afternoon. She then asked who paid out of us and when I said we have fitness passport (there is a log to sign in using FP) she said oh good then I’ve got your names then. This whole experience makes me feel so anxious that this happened in a council pool by a staff claiming to be the manager, and aggressive to the point that I thought at one point he was going to get physical. And he did all of this in front of the teenager girls he was training. Please void these pools.

Fantastic experience: Lots of different pools and activities for kids of all ages. Awesome, friendly staff that create a safe, welcoming environment. My kids learnt to swim here and love coming back.

Positive experience: 4 stars, only because we had a fantastic day, swimming and sliding and jumping off the blow up rocket only to be told by 1 lousy lifeguard that children need to be 6 to go on the rocket, clearly she lets the power get to her head, the other lifeguards were wonderful and the children ALL had a great time when they were around..... the food prices were good, the food was ok for the price too, entry was not too expensive, plenty of fun to be had for the children

Fantastic experience: This place is great value with excellent facilities. The 50m pool is always clear. Crowd is polite even when the lanes are a little busy. Weekends are fun with the kids. Has an inflatable tube on weekends that kids love to run along until they loose balance and fall into the pool. If this place had a bar it would be perfect

Fantastic experience: Really nice area for a great day by the pool for all ages. Shady and plenty of area to rest and have a picnic.

Fantastic experience: It's a pool

Positive experience: Great place for kids

Positive experience: Needs some love - especially the toilets….be nice to have a cafe with healthy food and a good coffee.

Negative experience: The lady in the counter are so rude, she need to learn how to treat customer especially elderley. Never come to this place again.

Negative experience: Today we went to Newmarket swimming pool, we paid for the entry fee and entered through the gate. As soon as we entered a lady from the other counter who was selling foods and lollies rudely stopped us and shouted in a loud voice that we need to pay entry fee to enter the building which we paid. Its better to communicate with the person who is handling all the check in process rather than shouting in loud voice. Really disappointed, we go there every week.

Fantastic experience: Best learn to swim and squad program in Brisbane! My son and daughter have thrived at this family friendly and professional swim school. Well done to everyone who works here as the staff make Newmarket Pool the best ☺️ Jacqui, Stephanie and Hayden

Negative experience: My kid enjoyed the swimming lessons there however the customer service is terrible! My kid started swimming since she was 3 months. The swimming lessons she went to was too entry for her even the swimming teacher said to us we can book one level up. However when I asked a staff if I can book different level for her, she was so rude and told me no. I have talked to her every time we went there. Felt like she lived in her own mind and ignored what I said to her! Very disappointed but the swimming teacher was good. My friend said to me she also feels the same way that the same staff doesn’t listen and every difficult and rude to communicate with.

Fantastic experience: Great local pool for families and individuals (different pools). Staff are courteous and do a wonderful job. It's a well run business. A great outing for the kids including reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best learn to swim and squad program in Brisbane! My son and daughter have thrived at this family friendly and professional swim school. Well done to everyone who works here as the staff make Newmarket Pool the best ☺️ Jacqui, Stephanie and Hayden

Fantastic experience: A great place to swim and relax unwind and get healthy with swimming exercises.

Fantastic experience: Clean, safe and secure with plenty of lifeguards. Tons of parking close to The pool in their own carpark just 60m from the Entrance. The Covered 50m- 8 lane squad/ Lap pool is protected from the sun with a huge blue shade sail. Complimented with a 25m heated lap pool also covered with the same Blue shade cloth. An indoor heated learn to swim hydro pool, several kids play pools including a wading pool with a giant green frog and the other pool has 2 water slides l, plus a pool with a 30m loop water slide. A water play area with a tipping splash bucket in a sea creature themed area. Loads of covered and uncovered picnic tables, and BBQ adjacent to a Very cool Pirate Ship adventure playground, a family indoor AC cooler Crèche to leave your kids while you exercise . An Indoor gymnasium. My daughter has visited here many times for Birthday parties. Prices are great. This is a Well planned, spacious family retreat on a searing hot and humid day. The trees on the bank next to the train line shade the Park from the north bound sun. The Newmarket Olympic Pool is close to Trains and buses and Shopping centre.

Fantastic experience: There's so much to do here, especially for young children. Great place to cool off on a hot day. Entry is super cheap. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Best swim complex I have visited. I travel 20 minutes no traffic past other pools because they are Clean and friendly and accommodation for so many activities for all ages! I wish we had something like this in my area. Thank You!

Fantastic experience: Great staff , nice facility

Positive experience: Amazing place to take the kids on a hot summers day. I’ve seen a lot of progress over the past 10 or so years and they’ve really made improvements and the newer additions like the slides and the big splash bucket are always a big hit! Change rooms are a bit dated and need updating but happy with everything Newmarket pool has to offer!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful large facility with options for the whole family and fitness levels. Great aqua aerobics classes for pregnancy. Very clean and wonderful staff!

Fantastic experience: Terrific! Fantastic for the kids & adults alike.

Fantastic experience: Good sized facilities with something for everyone (including adults looking for a variety of exercise options, and families with kids of all ages). Hydro pool is good, crèche available during week days, and lap pool seems to be popular with competitive swim set.

Fantastic experience: Where do I start... Beautiful helpful staff . Clean amenities. Great value. Oh and the hot chips are the absolute best .

Fantastic experience: It is the best but haven't been at that pool in Ages can't wait to get in the pool on Thursday For Splash St James to Newmarket Pool here we come

Fantastic experience: Great something there for everyone

Fantastic experience: Great fun!

Positive experience: Very nice place. Lot to do for kids

Positive experience: Great spot to cut some laps and wet the toes.

Fantastic experience: Fun place for kiddies

Fantastic experience: Great for big kids and little kids alike.

Positive experience: Nice grassy areas but looking a bit tatty now. Not the cleanest water in the pool. Keep your mouth closed and have a shower after

Negative experience: I know staff bwhind the counter here are kids, but would it hurt to say please and thank you and lose the attitude? I know it's busy on Australia Day, but change rooms needed a clean too. It's only 3pm.

Negative experience: ***VETERANS BEWARE*** There is a rude, ex defence, self entitled gold card holder that works at the service counter who is denying veterans concessions. What the actual...my brother who is a veteran with multiple physical and mental health disabilities and was rudely denied a concession from the absolute worst human at the service counter on the grounds that his gold card was not sufficient. The website says gold card holders are eligible for a concession. That is flat out the biggest joke. It's not even about the money but the way a veteran treated another veteran. Absolutely disgusted. I get it some people never leave the green behind and still think they have the right to dictate how they treat others without consequences. Heads up this is the real world. No one cares who you were in the military. Grow up and have some self respect. Peace ✌️

Negative experience: Beautiful pools for kids BUT front reception staff are rude in front of children. Food pfft $18 for 2 tastiest that were disgusting and not toasted properly. Couldn't cater enough food for occupancy. And 1 life guard on for a pool with 50 people. Unsatisfactory all round. Pick ya act up.

Positive experience: A great day out on a budget... lots of seating and shade, a large grassed area is perfect for a picnic! The pools are clean and well designed with pools for all ages from babies to adults. My grandson loves the waterside and inflatable pontoon.

Fantastic experience: Newmarket Pool - A Water Wonderland!! If you have kids this is the perfect spot to cool off! Entry fees are super affordable, parking is great and I found the staff very helpful where ever I needed it!! Thanks for a great day Newmarket Pools!! xx

Fantastic experience: I know the owners great people lovely pool

Fantastic experience: It was great the hydrotherapy pool.Staff are wonderful. The warm water is great for alleviating pain and discomfort.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean pool, not too busy. Lots of kids areas for them to play like a water bucket, slides etc..

Fantastic experience: Great family friendly environment with lots of different activities and spaces. Only problem is parking if you come later.

Fantastic experience: Great venue and good service. Lots of activities for kids and fitness options for adults.

Fantastic experience: A great place for kids of all ages. Has plenty of sitting areas too for a picnic or a kiosk to buy food n drinks. Easy carpark as well. Will come again

Fantastic experience: Been doing swimming lessons here now for a couple of terms and love this place. Great pools to learn and gave fun for adults and kids.

Fantastic experience: Great place to take the kids. Slides, heated pool, long non heated pool. They also sell food and have covered areas for parties

Fantastic experience: Great pool for the kids, and good lessons too. Has a good water play area for smaller kids, and a giant paste so playground too.

Fantastic experience: It is very crowded in the morning.

Fantastic experience: This place was amazing, kids had so much fun.

Positive experience: lifeguards. The pool is big and the kiddies area is awesome. Nice place.

Positive experience: Great pools! I always have an unpleasant experience at their canteen though. All staff were so grumpy and rude. Nobody expects great customer service at a public pool canteen but they aren't even being normal. Grumpy. I haven't heard they ever said thank you to their customers. That's the only negative for me.

Negative experience: The big slide is great for older children and the little kids pools and slides are lots of fun for the little ones. There is a park with lots of space to spread out and have a picnic. The baby pool is absolutely freezing and the warm pool feels bit grimy to put it best. The major downside for me is the staff, after going here for over a decade, they have never been very polite or helpful, every time without fail acting suspicious and accusatory for what reason I don’t know. The main pool has a thick layer of gunk and grime at water level which can be very off-putting.

Fantastic experience: An Excellent Popular Pool With Marked Lanes On Half The Pool! It Has A Huge Blue Snake With A Life Saver Holding A Hose To Spray The Kids As They Challenge Themselves Across It On Saturdays! There Is A Heated Pool Undercover & A Children's Pool As Well! Also A Therapeutic Pool! There Is A Kiosk Where You Pay Your Entrance Fee Depending On Your Status! For Two Pensioners It's $11.60! There Is A Huge Water Slide For Kids But Adults Can Use It Once But After They Need To Purchase A $2.00 Wrist Band To keep Using It! Life Savers Patrol The Pool Area Constantly! There is Also Showers & Restrooms!

Fantastic experience: Excellent place for kids, so many different slides and activities. 100% better than Ferny grove swimming pool which is outdated and so boring for kids! Love Newmarket pool we will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Very nice pool with several small pools and slides for kids. Big pool is good too. Friendly staff. A cafeteria with coffee and simple food. There is a children playground too. Lots of shady area under the pine trees to sit.

Fantastic experience: We have been here a number of times and the kids always have a great time. Some good water slides for kids of all ages.

Negative experience: staff are very rude
