The Tarzan Rope
This is located in the 50m pool and for some it is the most exciting activity at the Centre! The rope is available most days, however it is advisable that you call prior to coming.

Review:
All the facilities are indoors with a good range of pools. There is a decent sized Fun pool which is warm and varies in depth up to 0.9m. This pool has a water slide which is open most of the time and its use is included in the admission price. A single set of steps lead up to a platform where the slide starts. The slide is a deep open trough which goes down to a roped off area of the Fun pool and is fairly straight with a bend at the end which gives you an entry into the water where you can control the speed. Only one person at a time is allowed on the slide which means a parent is not allowed to ride down with their child.
There is a parent supervised area with a pool ranging from 0 to 0.4m deep and a 50m pool which has roped off swimming lanes and an open swimming area. There is a Tarzan rope which is available periodically during the day.
There are a few picnic tables outside the building and a decent sized cafe area but there are no EFTPOS facilities - bring some cash or go hungry.
Entry prices are very reasonable. The floor surface is fairly slippery and it feels you are always walking around gingerly.
Update: The water slide has been removed since we did this review.
