Get fit, cut laps and stay cool this summer at these Gold Coast pools and aquatic centres
It’s that time of year when a lot of us like to hit the refresh button and, you know, look for ways to add a little extra spring to our steps and get ourselves ready to tackle summer head on. How about hitting the local pool? You can cut laps, join a swimming squad or even jump in on an (air-conditioned) fitness class – which, let’s be honest, sounds far more appealing than a sweaty jog in the stifling heat.
The Gold Coast is dotted with world-class aquatic facilities to keep the water-loving populace at bay – so, no matter what end of the coast you’re on, there’s a glistening public oasis just waiting to be jumped in. If you’re thinking it’s just about throwing on the Speedos and staring at the black line at the bottom of the pool, think again. There’s squad training, fun aqua classes, gym facilities and heart-starting fitness sessions to jump into, which cater for all abilities.
Those on the northern end can make waves at Woongoolba, Upper Coomera, Helensvale and Nerang, while swimmers in the central areas can lap it up at Mudgeeraba and Southport’s Gold Coast Aquatic Centre. Southern folk can get wet at the Miami pool or down at the Palm Beach aquatic facility, which lies just next to Currumbin Creek. Keen to weave some pool time into your weekly fitness regime? You can read more about the Gold Coast’s aquatic facilities over here. Grab your towel and goggles – it’s time to get wet!
