Tips for Visiting Brisbane's Indoor Pools

If you're planning a trip to any of the pools listed, please remember to first:

• Check opening hours – some pools might have dedicated times for lessons or aqua aerobics.
• Slip, slop, slap! Even if you're indoors, applying sunscreen is still a good practise, especially if the facility has a lot of natural lighting.
• Keep an eye on the little ones. It's easy to get distracted in a large facility, but safety comes first!

Happy swimming!
