Are your kids ready for the Aquatic Challenger this summer?

Escape the summer heat with a family day out at Lake Mac Swim Centres. The kids can climb, slide, and splash their way through the Aquatic Challenger, making it the perfect spot for nonstop fun. Cool off in the pools, explore the splash park, and relax under the warm sunshine. Bring a picnic or fire up the BBQ on the grassy areas, or enjoy tasty treats and drinks from the on-site kiosks.

Entry requirements

The Aquatic Challenger is open to children aged 6–16 years. Before participating, all children must complete a swim test, which requires swimming 15 meters unassisted. Please note that flotation devices are not allowed on the equipment.

Costs & safety

Aquatic Challenger sessions incur an additional fee on top of the standard pool entry. Prices are $6.30 per child or $13 for a family pass. No bookings are needed for public sessions; just arrive and get involved. Qualified lifeguards and instructors are always on duty to keep everyone safe.
