Where we swim

A six-lane outdoor pool in Waverley, with covered seating for parents, a shaded kit area and floodlights for winter mornings. There is parking inside the gate.

Come and swim a session before you commit

Bring a costume, cap and goggles. Gerhard will watch a few lengths and tell you honestly which group fits.
