Along with the private pools in the resorts and holiday homes, Sunshine Coast Regional Council has some safe and fun places for the kids to get wet.

 Noosa Aquatic Centre is situated on the Sunshine Beach side of Noosa and has a five pools to get wet in, without having to worry about the sun and ocean creatures!

 The toddlers pool is ideal for those wanting to splash about and parents can soak away their aches in the bubble pool. Keep your fitness regime up to date in their 50m pool, or just enjoy a coffee while the kids have a paddle. Their swim shop has most items you may need and the centre has easy access for those with disabilities.

 Holidays see the blow up toys come out - a gigantic red rocket to climb along, tyre tubes and mats add to the fun. These special items make an appearance generally from 11am to 3pm daily in the school holidays.

 Another option for families who are staying in the area for a week or more is the Intensive Learn to Swim Program which run for one week. This is ideal for children who are not as confident in the water and you would like them to be able to refine their skills and confidence.

 Just call the Noosa Aquatic Centre for more details.
