in the last week

Had a weeks holiday at Forster, and was fortunate enough to train at the Aquatic centre . I'm nine weeks in my rehab, after having a Total Knee Replacement. With the pool , bikes and machines it had everything I needed. Great value for money also after purchasing a weekly pass. You can't go wrong.

Great place to bring the whole family. 3 size pools. Little area for babies, a toddler pool that starts very shallow and goes up to 0.9 metres. The bigger pool is a regular pool for swimming lessons, laps, aqua aerobics, general swimming etc. No diving boards. Can borrow noodles, etc. Swimmers are for sale, if you find you want a dip and didn't bring them with you. Goggles and sometimes towels for sale. A cheap day out for the family in summer. Gym area, play area and circuit training. Indoor volly ball, basket ball, etc. Coffee shop that sells most things. Awesome place to visit.
