Lap pools
We have the largest estate of pools in SA. Enjoy swimming all year round in our 20 or 25 metre heated swimming pools. So dive right in for some lap training, swim with a squad or meditate the day away, one stroke at a time.
Leisure pools
Many of our gyms have leisure pools too. Perfectly heated, they are used for Aqua Fitness classes, rehab exercises, Learn to Swim classes and as a family swimming pool.
