Media Release - Salisbury Aquatic Centre’s opening date revealed as first round of exclusive membership offers go live
The City of Salisbury is thrilled to reveal that the highly anticipated Salisbury Aquatic Centre will open its doors from Monday 24 June 2024.
One of the most significant projects undertaken by Council in recent years, the Salisbury Aquatic Centre will be delivered with two indoor pools, a health club, 50-metre outdoor pool, splash pad and waterplay area, and a triple water slide tower.
The initial round of exclusive membership offers will officially go live today at 12pm on the Salisbury Aquatic Centre website, with a limited allocation of very exciting, high-value offers.
The first 200 people to sign up for the Foundation Membership will receive full health club and aquatic access for just $16 a week, a huge 20% off the normal price. Following this, two further exclusive pre-sale opportunities will be offered at limited numbers before opening general memberships.
Foundation Members will enjoy unlimited access to the Salisbury Aquatic Centre’s health club and aquatic facilities, group fitness classes, functional training and more. There will also be other membership options for those wanting something specific, like aquatic use only.
Learn to Swim programs for children of all ages will be offered at the Centre, and those looking to enrol can register their interest now.
The Salisbury Aquatic Centre will be managed by BlueFit, an expert leisure facility management company. Established in Sydney in 2007, BlueFit have been involved in running more than 50 community leisure facilities and have extensive experience partnering with Councils, including City of Salisbury’s own Parafield Gardens Recreation Centre, Ingle Farm Recreation Centre, and neighbouring City of Playford’s Aquadome.
The Centre is tracking towards practical completion and handover to BlueFit in early May, with the indoor pools recently filled, new car park, driveway and landscaping nearing completion, and final touches currently being added to the outdoor pool areas, waterplay features and 10-metre high water slides.
To sign up for a membership, or register interest in Learn to Swim classes, visit www.salisburyaquaticcentre.com.au.
The Salisbury Aquatic Centre has been co-funded by the Government of South Australia’s Local Government Infrastructure Partnership Program.
