The ACT is essentially Canberra and its surroundings. Being the national capital, it has excellent public facilities for its size. The ACT Government runs several aquatic centres through Active Canberra, and they're well-maintained with reasonable casual entry prices.
Canberra Indoor Aquatic Leisure Centre (CISAC) and the Lakeside Leisure Centre are both popular options with full facilities. The Australian National University also opens its sports facilities to the public.
The ACT is compact - you can get anywhere within 20-30 minutes. If you're visiting Parliament House, the National Gallery, or the War Memorial, there are aquatic centres within easy reach for freshening up.
Good to know: Canberra can get very cold in winter (June-Aug) with frost common. Summer (Dec-Feb) is hot but less humid than coastal cities. Air-conditioned facilities are welcome either season.

Canberra has four distinct seasons - cold winters and hot summers. Everything is spread out and designed for cars, but facilities are well-distributed across suburbs. Parliament sits Feb-June and Aug-Dec, which brings more visitors. Floriade (flower festival) in Sept-Oct is peak tourism.
The Canberra Olympic Pool (actually called Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre) is the best facility in town - used for national competitions but open to the public.
