At the Centenary Aquatic Centre, excellence is a tradition, as we are widely recognized for providing one of Brisbane’s premier training facilities. Our program has a proven history of cultivating talent, guiding swimmers from local beginnings to international acclaim. Through collaborative partnerships with nearby schools, we offer exclusive access to both an indoor 25m short course pool at St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace and an outdoor 25m pool at St Rita’s College, fostering the growth of our aspiring athletes. Featuring amenities such as an outdoor 50m pool, indoor and outdoor strength and conditioning areas, and onsite physiotherapy and musculoskeletal specialists, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive support for our swimmers’ development and success.

 

Our world class facilities and coaching team are always on hand to offer advice and guidance on all aspects of our program.

Club Nights at ​Centenary Pool

Club nights at Centenary are about building team spirit – the focus is on enjoyment and connection with their team mates. There is a lot of opportunities for our swimmers to focus on times and racing during training and at the interclub meets, so whilst there will be racing at club nights we don’t want racing to be its sole focus.

 

Club nights involve activities in and out of the pool including diving, relays and team challenges. The criteria for success is the smile on the swimmers faces as they leave.  We look forward to your involvement and feedback on how we make it a great experience for all our swimmers regardless of their level.
