Activities for 8-10 year olds
from 15 April 2012
at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre

Whether they are champions smashing world records or toddlers achieving personal bests - the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre has seen them all. This world class venue hosts everything from international swim meets to weekly learn to swim classes. It even features a water playground for the kids, including a rapid river ride, bubbling beach fountains and spurting volcanoes. The complex has facilities for all aquatic sports and includes a 10 lane, 50 metre competition pool (with movable bulkheads for 25 metre short course), a 50 metre training pool and a 33 x 25 metre utility pool with facilities for water polo, diving and synchronised swimming. In addition to the children's leisure pools, it also has a spa, sauna and steam room, a state of the art gymnasium and cardio theatre. The Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre was opened in 1994 and was the venue for the swimming, diving and synchronised swimming for the Sydney 2000 Games. Timing and scoreboard systems are commensurate with being one of the leading aquatic facilities in the world. The competition pool hall has a seating capacity for 7,700, which through its innovative roof design was increased to 17,500 for the 2000 Olympics.
