The 25-metre program pool at Gungahlin Leisure Centre will close over winter from 16 May due to routine pool maintenance.
The closure of the 25-metre pool will not impact any other areas of the leisure centre.
For the duration of the closure period, all aquatic memberships, Learn to Swim enrolments and family memberships will automatically be suspended and these customers will not be charged.
As all fitness areas are unaffected, fitness memberships remain active.

Please show your Gungahlin membership card to reception on arrival. Learn to Swim classes cannot be transferred to other centres.
We understand this is an inconvenience to pool users and appreciate your patience while the pool is closed.
Updates on how this work is progressing will be available here on our website.
