The Crestwood Aquatic Centre is a private facility and is not open to the general public. The Aquatic Centre is located towards the centre of the Estate and is entered from various parkway walks or by road via Coronet and Princeton Courts. Roadway street parking is limited and is not convenient other than to drop off pool users. Please be mindful of neighbours verges and driveways if dropping off/picking up from the pool.
As residents of the Estate, you are entitled to freely use the pool facilities that are professionally managed and supervised by qualified attendants.
The Aquatic Centre complex comprises a 25 metre main pool and a heated toddler’s pool, which is separated from the main pool and provides a comfortable, safe environment for small children and carers. There is ample shade available throughout the complex. Sun lounges, tables and chairs are provided. Portable gas barbeques are also available for use by all residents, which can be booked by speaking with a Life Guard on duty.
The pool season is typically from late October until late April. The facility is opened daily during this period (except Christmas Day and Good Friday). The pool opening hours are available on the Crestwood website and are displayed at the noticeboard at the swimming pool.
Entrance to the pool is by way of an electronic fob system. Please follow the Pool Access/Fob Holder Process to register for your fob. There is no entry charge to residents and their guests. If Homeowner Fees are unpaid, you may be restricted from using the pool until such time as your Homeowner Fees are paid in full.
The pool rules form part of the application process and are displayed at the centre and must be adhered to at all times. Parents are reminded of their individual responsibilities concerning their child’s behaviour at the pool. The Pool Lifeguards will report to the Management Committee all incidents of unsafe and unsociable behaviour. All reports are thoroughly investigated. Pool passes will be withdrawn and entry revoked for anyone who breaches the pool rules or displays unsafe practices.
The Department of Education VacSwim program is held in the complex during the January school holidays, in the past few years the program has been opened to non-residents, so early enrolment is encouraged to ensure your place at our pool. Information about the program is usually emailed to residents, advertised on Facebook page and the VacSwim website. To enrol your child/children in the lessons, please contact VacSwim directly. Contact details may be found on the VacSwim website.

Access to Pool
To gain entry to the pools you must be able to present a valid Key Fob.
Pool Fobs
The following general conditions apply for pool passes.
Pool passes will only be issued to qualifying permanent residents of Crestwood. Identification linking individuals to a residential address may be required in some circumstances. People renting in Crestwood will need to provide their current tenancy agreement as proof of residence.
Residents are responsible for their individual pool passes (fobs). It is required that photo identification is linked to your fob and will be added upon collection. Fob holders are solely responsible for the use of their fob and the behaviour of any visitors/guests. Photo ID is intended to reduce the risk of a stolen fob being used, or penalties for rule breaches being attributed to the wrong fob.
