Preparing you for the closure of the existing centre on 1 August 2024
We remain as committed as ever to supporting all users with the transition process. If you use the existing centre and haven’t yet worked out your preferred alternative swim centre during the closure, please see the below:
- casual lap or recreational users: find a venue near you using our venue finder
- organised user groups: we have found solutions for various communities; visit our alternative options page for more info
- Learn to Swim users: placements have been offered. If you are still to complete your EOI for Learn to Swim classes, we appreciate you doing this as soon as possible so we can assist you with this transition process.
For any questions or enquiries, please call us on 1800 942 974 or email AACUserInfo@sa.gov.au.
