Loved by the Northcote community

Real feedback from the people who swim, train and learn here every week. A community facility built for everyone.

I love the sense of community here

I’m a member of The Northcote Aquatic & Recreation Centre and joined during a really difficult time in my life. Having somewhere consistent to go and move my body gave me much-needed routine, structure, and something positive to focus on.

This is such a fantastic facility

The gym is well equipped with lots of options for machines, weights and space to work out. Love the 50m outdoor pool and it’s always great if you score one of the sun lounges. A lovely way to spend the afternoon on these summer day.

This place is Amazing

The Facilities Manager, Michelle is terrific and so are the staff. Everything here is totally Fabulous. It’s a Five star Complex with every Amenity catered for. Massive Gym fully equipped overlooking the 50 metre Pool. More pools inside undercover, massive hydro pool on site.
