Mandurah Aquatic And Recreation Centre - Mandurah, Western Australia

Andrew L.

Very modern and state of the art complex, still under going renovations.
Showers and toilet facilities are very clean and tidy.
Well priced membership options and the centre has everything you need with numerous pools to choose from depending on what you want to do.
Squash courts / Gymnasium & plenty of basketball courts also to choose from.
All in all a world class facility with friendly staff.

On the downside, the cafe is very small, you wouldnt want to be there on a really busy day or you might be waiting half the day to get a coffee or something to eat. Perhaps when the renovations are completed they might upgrade the cafe to something a little more substantial.

Can not recommend, rhianna, ksenia and dale enough if your looking for a PT. They all have different strengths and really show you through forms and adapt to your needs with continuous check ins. They have a great handle on anatomy and injury recovery. Their personal approach and care is above and beyond.

I would give 3.5 stars if I could.
The place is clean, staff are very friendly.
I bring the kids in the holidays for the little water slide, but they don't seem to want to run it. It's supposed to be going at a quarter past every hour.
If no kids are up there in line waiting they won't open it, that's OK I guess...they don't think kids are interested.
I requested it to be opened and they still took their time.

My 2 were the only ones in line but once it was open there was about 20 kids.

Quite often arrive to use the pool to swim laps but half the pool is closed off for swim clubs or aqua aerobics. This is inconvenient as anyone wanting to swim laps is left sharing the remaining crowded lanes. However, arrived last week to be told the entire pool is closed for swim meets and was handed a timetable that says the pool is closed to the public basically everyday between 9am and 3pm for the next 3 months. Arrived today at 5:30am to swim, 4 lanes closed for swim club. Swam a few laps in another lane before being told I have to get out of the lane for yet another swim club, they were using another 2 lanes. That left all the rest of the 15 odd people squeezed into 2 lanes trying to swim their laps. Is this a public pool or is this a pool for private functions?

i love coming to the swimming pool i used to live in Perth but moved down to Mandurah for a more relaxed life.

the main reason i come to the pools is because i do my pool work / aerobics and since i have a senior's card i can go in for free witch i love about this community but sometimes the pools can be very dirty.

and there is a group of other people who come in and i love catching up with them.

over all i love this town and the community it has to offer.

Health and Safety is not a priority. I had a fall on the 10 March 2021. The entrance gate to the gym has been defect for many months. They are using the glass gate that normally is the exit, or disability entrance, they are using now for going in and out.
The gate opens in both directions. There is no sensor that prevents the gate from moving if you cross, there are no warning signs, there is no beeping when it closes.
I was going to the spin class and went through the gate that was open. The gate closed behind me and I got caught with the edge of the glass and my shoes and I had a fall on the knees. The left knee got the full impact.
I wrote a report and Liz Walker that is working at Marc, witness the accident. Then came first aid, Karin brought a big suitcase and a bag of frozen peas. I wrote the report, Karin was unable to do much, they should put a brace around my knee.
I decided that I wanted to go the spin class and I was afraid that my knee will become stiff, but soon I realized that I had something serious as I was unable to put any wait on it. I tried to extend the leg and wait for my husband to finish the class.
On the next day, I went to the doctor and I was sent to do x-rays. In my way to the x-rays we stopped at Marc and talked to Alison, the supervisor.
There was NO report of the accident, and nothing was in place to prevent another accident. Alison, very reluctant to help, she was non-plus, she did not even want to know much about my comments. She was looking for the report that she was unable to find.
After the short visit, I had my x-rays done and I was sent to the hospital, due to a small knee fracture. Now I have to wear a splint and next week I will have to go to Rockingham to the bone hospital.
Nobody at Marc has contacted me to for a follow up.
****
It is a very dangerous place because there is no much awareness of risks.
I have pointed out that the room 2 with the bikes are a hazard. That people put mats between bikes, that the coaches are pushing the bikes causing a lot of strain at the back. I made aware of the hazard and I will keep fighting so that Marc and his employees become more aware of the dangers and hazards that are in place.
This time I will go public if I need, because this behavior and lack of awareness is unacceptable.

A few good things to say about this place, but far more cons than pros… my son loves the pool, and this place has a pool, so that is a pro.

As the cons, the last time we went swimming, the lifeguard wouldn’t allow me to go down the slide with my baby, which is fine, but the rules aren’t posted anywhere, and she was not terribly civil, she just said no, no when I walked up, and said I couldn’t go down the slide with him. I asked how old he had to be to go down the slide by himself, and she said that was up to me. so I asked, three years old? Four years old? She again just said it was up to me. This is ridiculous and unsafe, as my baby is now just 14 months old and would obviously drown if I sent him down the slide by himself. Nowhere are the slide rules posted, there are no age or height requirements listed anywhere. There is a sign that says not to poo in the pool, but there are no signs that dictate safety around water or near the pirate ship children’s area. We called the aquatic center and spoke to manager told us that she was sure there were rules regarding age and height for going down the side, but she didn’t know what they were. Previously, we have been able to go down the slide, holding the baby, and I’m fine if the rules have changed or are now being enforced, but I wish people could actually tell us what the rules are! Only a psychopath would decide that it was OK to send their infant down the slide by themselves, but apparently that would be, according to the lifeguard at the slide a few weeks ago, just fine, it’s up to me!
On top of this, I was not able to easily find a way to withdraw my child from swimming lessons through navigating on the website, and we have just been charged a non-refundable large sum of money that we cannot afford even though we have not shown up to any lessons this term and he has aged out of and graduated from the class he is apparently enrolled in. Unacceptable, really heartbreaking that a community center treats local patrons with such disrespect.

Torn seats on equipment, roof still leaks, patrons in the gym without using a towel as per gym signs and gym staff using equipment without wiping it down. The City needs their staff to monitor this more closely
