Bellarine Aquatic & Sports Centre will close for four weeks early next month to allow for “urgent works” the City of Greater Geelong said.
The centre will be closed from Monday June 2 to Monday June 30 to replace the pool’s extraction fan and to undertake repairs to the centre’s roof.
The gym, Motivate30, Gymnastics, studio-based group exercise classes (excluding Crank), and the stadium will all remain open and continue as scheduled. Crank classes will be held at North Bellarine Aquatic Centre.
Additional Aqua Aerobics classes have been scheduled at Splashdown Leisure Centre and Leisurelink Aquatic & Recreation Centre.
Webstar’s Swim School classes will be relocated or automatically suspended. Community members enrolled in the program have been emailed with specific information about their options.
Surfside Cafe will remain open for three weeks (entry via the main entrance), before closing from Sunday 22 June to Friday 27 June.
Community members will be able to enter the centre through the Shell Road (north-facing) side of the building, with reception temporarily relocated to the cycle room.
Connewarre Ward councillor Elise Wilkinson reminded users that they had free reciprocal access built into their membership.
“During this period, members can visit the City’s other indoor and outdoor Swim Sport & Leisure centres at no extra cost,” Cr Wilkinson said.
“The most convenient nearby options are North Bellarine in Drysdale, Moolap’s Splashdown and Leisurelink at Waurn Ponds.”
