Welcome to Tomaree Aquatic Centre

Tomaree Aquatic Centre is proudly managed by Belgravia Leisure on behalf of Port Stephens Council and is a much-loved outdoor facility for locals and visitors alike.
Set in a relaxed coastal environment, the centre features a 50-metre outdoor heated pool with up to eight swimming lanes, a shaded heated program pool, shaded wading pool for younger swimmers, and a spiral waterslide that’s always a crowd favourite. With large open lawn areas, free BBQ facilities, and volleyball greens, it’s the perfect spot to swim, move, relax, or spend the day with family and friends.
We offer a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities — from lap swimming, swimming lessons, and squad training, to group fitness options including aqua aerobics and land-based classes.
After a swim or workout, visit our onsite kiosk for a range of hot food, snacks, drinks, and ice-creams, perfect for refuelling hungry swimmers big and small. A selection of swimwear and swimming accessories is also conveniently available just outside the kiosk.
Whether you’re here for fitness, fun, or a full day out in the sunshine, Tomaree Aquatic Centre is a place to move, connect, and make lasting summer memories.
