Indoor pool

Update: 15 October

We are excited to announce that Learn to Swim programs will be returning for Term 4, with lessons recommencing from Monday 25 October.

Existing bookings apply, and students can return for their regularly scheduled lessons, provided their accompanying parent or caregiver over the age of 16 can provide evidence of double vaccination status. At this stage, we ask if learn to swim patrons attend with only one spectator where possible.

The first direct debit will occur on 21 October for those booked on Monday to Wednesday and 28 October for remaining members. If you do not wish to return to learn to swim, please email [email protected] and you can either cancel or suspend your booking for a later start date or shift your booking to Term 1.

Update: 8 October

In light of the recent changes to the NSW Public Health Order, Maitland Aquatics Centres plan to continue reopening our pools in a staged and COVID safe way to keep our staff and community safe. Bookings are essential and can be made online at https://mait.city/AquaticsBookings.  

From Monday 11 October, the indoor and outdoor pools at Maitland Aquatic Centre will be available Monday to Friday between 6.00am and 6.00pm and weekends beginning 16 October between 7.00am and 4.00pm for lap, recreational and rehab swimming.  

The East Maitland Aquatic Centre will also be open Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 4.00pm for lap and recreational swimming.  

Changeroom facilities will be available.

Accessing our facility 

In line with the Public Health Order roadmap, patrons over the age of 16 attending Maitland Aquatics Centres are required to be double vaccinated and able to show proof of this on entry, or entry will be refused. Maitland Aquatics Centre will not issue a refund in such circumstances.   

When booking, please note: 

  • We have increased the lane capacity to five people per lane. 
  • Each individual booking in for lap, recreational or rehab swimming is booking a spot for one person and secures one spot in a lane. If you are booking on behalf of an additional person, a separate booking is required to secure their spot. 
  • Individuals using the indoor pool for rehab purposes generally prefer to use lanes seven and eight, adjacent to the in pool ramp. If you are lap swimming, and another lane is available, please consider other patrons and choose another lane. 

Squad 

Squad levels Gold, Silver and Bronze will be returning from Monday 11 October, with sessions held at East Maitland Pool at 6.00am to 8.00am and 4.00pm to 6.00pm. We are making plans to welcome our Transition level squad members back to the pool as soon as possible. 

Memberships 

All memberships placed on suspension at the time of closure on Thursday 5 August will be released from suspension. Patrons who need to maintain their suspension status can contact Maitland Aquatics on 02 4933 5073 or [email protected] to amend their membership details.  

We will announce future plans as soon as possible via our website and the Maitland City Council Facebook page.
