Highfields Aquatic & Fitness Centre

Our facility features a heated outdoor pool that has 8 lanes and measures 25 meters in length. Additionally, we have a separate heated pool for toddlers that includes a slide and a mushroom water fountain.

Our pools cater to a variety of activities such as lap swimming, aqua aerobics, general play and relaxation, learn to swim classes, swimming carnivals, and group bookings. Pool classes are available during the spring and summer seasons, and trained pool lifeguards monitor the pools at all times. Please note that the toddlers' water slide is not operational during school swimming lessons.

Aquatic policies

Royal Life Saving Keep Watch Program

The Highfields Aquatic and Fitness Centre participates in the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia's KEEP WATCH Program. Our qualified lifeguards manage and supervise aquatic activities to ensure maximum safety and fun. However, children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or over, or by the legal parent or guardian of the child, at all times during their stay in the aquatic area.

• For 0–5 year olds and non-swimmers, a high visibility wristband will be worn at all times, it is a means of identification, a parent or guardian needs to be in the water at all times and within arms' reach of the child. If children are not within arm’s reach of their parent or guardian at all times, they will be removed from the water.
• If children under 15 are unsupervised they will be removed from the water.

Groups/families will not be permitted entry where the number of Parent/Guardian’s supervising a group of children under 15 years exceeds the ratio of 1:6.

Please remember your children are your responsibility.

Swimwear policy

The swimwear policy across our pools is based on guidelines from the Royal Lifesaving Society of Australia (RLSSA) and from QLD Health. The RLSSA Guideline for Safe Pool Operation makes references to appropriate swimwear in public pools.

Adequate and hygienic recognised swimwear made from lycra and nylon should be worn at all times in the water. Infants are required to wear only recognised waterproof aqua nappies plus tight leg swimwear.
