Claremont Aquatic Centre

Yes nice old -style aquatic centre. Well maintained. The only negative I have is based on a recent purchase. My partner surprised me with a pair of barhers I had mentioned I had seen there and liked. He was told by the staff they could be exchanged if they were not the correct size etc. Not so! Despite returning them with tags still attached and obviously not worn and a receipt I was informed they do not exchange swimwear. So we were left with bathers that cost $120.00 ( very nice Funkita's) and not feeling too impressed with this place. I have since bought another pair but not from here! Ok if you don't exchange swimwear then educate your staff. Also the pools are inundated with just about every school in perth having lessons and carnivals etc during the warmer months midweek so you will be limited to only one lane or two that will be available. Best to ring in advance and check timetables.

I love the Claremont pool and am here a couple times a week. The front desk staff is fantastic. They smile and quickly ring you up the $6 for open swim. The swim shop is well stocked with Funkita bathers, caps/hats, goggles and swim training equipment. The women's change room has about 6-8 showers some are only "cold" and others have hot water. Some showers have doors on them for a little privacy others have nothing for privacy. There are plenty of toilets in working order but sometimes they are out of toilet paper early in the morning/late at night. It would be really great if they got lockers for the ladies change room! As of now, you take your belongings to the pool deck while you swim. The pool is usually pretty busy at most times of the day especially in spring and summer, but swimmers make room for you in their lanes if you ask nicely. I like that they are open late into the evening.
