Brunswick Pools & Gym
Whether you’re interested in lap swimming or want to get started with swimming lessons, Brunswick Baths has a swimming pool for every age. You can check Brunswick Baths lane availability here.
The main pool hall offers two indoor pools. There’s a 20m heated indoor pool (it was 33 degrees on my visit!) with four lanes and a maximum 1.3m depth. It’s used for learn to swim classes, hence its warm water level. When swimming lessons are happening there is usually one lane available for lap swimming.
The waterplay pool is a safe haven for little ones to enjoy water play, under your watchful eye. It features a beach entry and a small climbing structure with sprays and slides.
The spa, sauna and steam room are available for an additional fee on top of pool entry. Those facilities are only suitable for adults.
Outside there’s an eight-lane 50m heated outdoor pool (heated at around 27-28 degrees) and a kids’ splash pad that’s under a shade sail.
Brunswick Gym
If you want to hit your fitness goals, Brunswick Bath Gym is in a separate building accessible via the Brunswick swimming pool. It offers a well-equipped gym, various group fitness classes, personal training or small group training.
