Aquatics

The Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre is an endorsed Watch Around Water facility.

Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness raising program to address the growing concern regarding supervision of young children at public swimming pools.

The Watch Around Water rules:

• Children under 5 years must be accompanied into the centre by a responsible adult (16 years and over) and supervised within arm's reach at all times.
• Children under 12 years must be accompanied into the centre by a responsible adult (16 years and over)  and supervised within line of sight at all times.

• The centre has an Adult accessible changeroom, with adjustable hand basin, hoist and wash down bed
• 4 x Wet wheelchairs and ramps to all pools
• A portable hoist for all pools and spa

At times these events do affect what pool space is available to the community. As we know what events are booked in, we will post updates here.

Would you like to host your event here? Our facilities bookings team are happy to answer any questions you may have.

We host a number of local schools for their swimming carnivals during term one, each year.
