Yawa Aquatic Centre

Unfortunately not 5 stars. My first swim not great when a senior staff member was rude when I tried to buy 10 visits by wanting my email and phone number. When I refused and asked why I was abruptly told the system requires it and they are not there to argue. I said I'm not arguing im just asking a question. Awkward ! Why would I trust my email and mobile number to go into that system and be safe ??? Yet paywave works fine for one swim. With the pool surround in sections is extremely sharp exposed agrigat,making walking barefoot an uncomfortable experience. Contractors should be called back to grind down to the correct code /texture,inspect and repair the cracks. Take some notes from Hastings. Staff poolside are fantastic 10/10. Cleaners and actual cleaning 10/10. Change rooms are small for the size of the establishment. 8 people and it's uncomfortable. The lack of parking can be a nightmare. Hastings by far is a much better set up re: change rooms, parking. Both Yawa and Pelican actual swimming pools are great though.

Fantastic water splash playground for kids. Adults are allowed to accompany them down the waterslide if needed. Lots of attentive lifeguards on duty. Lots of family change rooms (annoying that you need to push the shower water button every 10-15 seconds though). Staff at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. Rented a locker for $2. Excellent value. Has a large hydrotherapy pool for over 16s.
