We are excited Lambton pool is now open for the upcoming summer season.

This season we will be helping out another local facility, The Forum, which has had to close due to urgent maintenance. The closure means they will be utilising our facility to operate its Learn to Swim and Squad programs. BlueFit Swimming will not operate for this season at Lambton so that we can accommodate these larger programs in our facilities and in turn supply vital programs to a larger portion of the Newcastle community.

We welcome and encourage our learn to swim customers to book into the Forum program at the Lambton Pool and will happily provide the Forum with your details and previous Learn to Swim level (with your permission) to make booking easier.

For those past customers that have an outstanding family credit with BlueFit Swimming due to missed lessons, we will be issuing visit passes for casual entry to our pools to accommodate these credits. Please ask at reception to receive your visit pass.

We will be running the BlueFit Swimming program at Mayfield and Wallsend on Sunday mornings to accommodate clients that prefer these locations. More information and booking dates will be provided to these customers shortly.

If you are interested in booking with The Forum Learn to Swim program at Lambton starting on Monday 12th October 2020 please email newcastle@bluefitswimming.com.au and we will help secure your place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Newcastle Pools!

Happy swimming from the team at Newcastle Pools.

MONDAY 17TH AUGUST 2020

  • Throughout the centre, you will see signage and instructions on how you, members, guests and staff can maintain a COVID safe facility.
  • All staff are requested to complete the Department of Health COVID-safe training.

MONDAY 24TH AUGUST 2020

We hope you are keeping well!

We are excited Lambton pool is now open for the upcoming summer season.

This season we will be helping out another local facility, The Forum, which has had to close due to urgent maintenance. The closure means they will be utilising our facility to operate its Learn to Swim and Squad programs. BlueFit Swimming will not operate for this season at Lambton so that we can accommodate these larger programs in our facilities and in turn supply vital programs to a larger portion of the Newcastle community.

We welcome and encourage our learn to swim customers to book into the Forum program at the Lambton Pool and will happily provide the Forum with your details and previous Learn to Swim level (with your permission) to make booking easier.

For those past customers that have an outstanding family credit with BlueFit Swimming due to missed lessons, we will be issuing visit passes for casual entry to our pools to accommodate these credits. Please ask at reception to receive your visit pass.

We will be running the BlueFit Swimming program at Mayfield and Wallsend on Sunday mornings to accommodate clients that prefer these locations. More information and booking dates will be provided to these customers shortly.

If you are interested in booking with The Forum Learn to Swim program at Lambton starting on Monday 12th October 2020 please email newcastle@bluefitswimming.com.au and we will help secure your place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Newcastle Pools!

Happy swimming from the team at Newcastle Pools.

MONDAY 17TH AUGUST 2020

We are looking forward to the re-opening of Lambton Swimming Pool on August 24th, however, we will have new safety and hygiene regulations in place:

  • Strict social distancing & hygiene measures must be adhered to.
  • We have increased our cleaning routine with our team of Hygiene Heroes rostered to ensure our facility’s hygiene remains at a high standard.
  • Throughout the centre, you will see signage and instructions on how you, members, guests and staff can maintain a COVID safe facility.
  • All staff are requested to complete the Department of Health COVID-safe training.
  • The facility is professionally cleaned every night.

By working together we can ensure we will continue to operate, we thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Please see more with the video below.

WEDNESDAY 18th march 2020

As the COVID-19 situation progresses, our priority remains the safety of our patrons and staff. With the season due to end at most of the Newcastle Pools in late April, a decision has been made to bring forward the closure of the Lambton, Mayfield, Wallsend and Stockton Pools to close of business Sunday 22nd March.

If your child is currently enrolled in the learn to swim program, a credit will be applied to your account for next season.

For those with visit passes, we are extending the expiry date of your passes by one year.

We’d like to take the time to thank our patrons & staff who have been extraordinary through this season. We hope to see you all next summer!

Stay safe.

The closure means they will be utilising our facility to operate its Learn to Swim and Squad programs. BlueFit Swimming will not operate for this season at Lambton so that we can accommodate these larger programs in our facilities and in turn supply vital programs to a larger portion of the Newcastle community.

We welcome and encourage our learn to swim customers to book into the Forum program at the Lambton Pool and will happily provide the Forum with your details and previous Learn to Swim level (with your permission) to make booking easier.

For those past customers that have an outstanding family credit with BlueFit Swimming due to missed lessons, we will be issuing visit passes for casual entry to our pools to accommodate these credits. Please ask at reception to receive your visit pass.

We will be running the BlueFit Swimming program at Mayfield and Wallsend on Sunday mornings to accommodate clients that prefer these locations. More information and booking dates will be provided to these customers shortly.

If you are interested in booking with The Forum Learn to Swim program at Lambton starting on Monday 12th October 2020 please email newcastle@bluefitswimming.com.au and we will help secure your place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Newcastle Pools!

We are excited Lambton pool is now open for the upcoming summer season.

This season we will be helping out another local facility, The Forum, which has had to close due to urgent maintenance. The closure means they will be utilising our facility to operate its Learn to Swim and Squad programs. BlueFit Swimming will not operate for this season at Lambton so that we can accommodate these larger programs in our facilities and in turn supply vital programs to a larger portion of the Newcastle community.

We welcome and encourage our learn to swim customers to book into the Forum program at the Lambton Pool and will happily provide the Forum with your details and previous Learn to Swim level (with your permission) to make booking easier.

For those past customers that have an outstanding family credit with BlueFit Swimming due to missed lessons, we will be issuing visit passes for casual entry to our pools to accommodate these credits. Please ask at reception to receive your visit pass.

We will be running the BlueFit Swimming program at Mayfield and Wallsend on Sunday mornings to accommodate clients that prefer these locations. More information and booking dates will be provided to these customers shortly.

If you are interested in booking with The Forum Learn to Swim program at Lambton starting on Monday 12th October 2020 please email newcastle@bluefitswimming.com.au and we will help secure your place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Newcastle Pools!

Happy swimming from the team at Newcastle Pools.

MONDAY 17TH AUGUST 2020

We are looking forward to the re-opening of Lambton Swimming Pool on August 24th, however, we will have new safety and hygiene regulations in place:

  • Throughout the centre, you will see signage and instructions on how you, members, guests and staff can maintain a COVID safe facility.
  • All staff are requested to complete the Department of Health COVID-safe training.
  • The facility is professionally cleaned every night.

WEDNESDAY 18th march 2020

We are excited Lambton pool is now open for the upcoming summer season.

This season we will be helping out another local facility, The Forum, which has had to close due to urgent maintenance. The closure means they will be utilising our facility to operate its Learn to Swim and Squad programs. BlueFit Swimming will not operate for this season at Lambton so that we can accommodate these larger programs in our facilities and in turn supply vital programs to a larger portion of the Newcastle community.

We welcome and encourage our learn to swim customers to book into the Forum program at the Lambton Pool and will happily provide the Forum with your details and previous Learn to Swim level (with your permission) to make booking easier.

For those past customers that have an outstanding family credit with BlueFit Swimming due to missed lessons, we will be issuing visit passes for casual entry to our pools to accommodate these credits. Please ask at reception to receive your visit pass.

We will be running the BlueFit Swimming program at Mayfield and Wallsend on Sunday mornings to accommodate clients that prefer these locations. More information and booking dates will be provided to these customers shortly.

If you are interested in booking with The Forum Learn to Swim program at Lambton starting on Monday 12th October 2020 please email newcastle@bluefitswimming.com.au and we will help secure your place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to Newcastle Pools!

Happy swimming from the team at Newcastle Pools.

MONDAY 17TH AUGUST 2020

We are looking forward to the re-opening of Lambton Swimming Pool on August 24th, however, we will have new safety and hygiene regulations in place:

  • Strict social distancing & hygiene measures must be adhered to.
  • We have increased our cleaning routine with our team of Hygiene Heroes rostered to ensure our facility’s hygiene remains at a high standard.
  • Throughout the centre, you will see signage and instructions on how you, members, guests and staff can maintain a COVID safe facility.
  • All staff are requested to complete the Department of Health COVID-safe training.
  • The facility is professionally cleaned every night.

By working together we can ensure we will continue to operate, we thank you in advance for your cooperation.

WEDNESDAY 18th march 2020

As the COVID-19 situation progresses, our priority remains the safety of our patrons and staff. With the season due to end at most of the Newcastle Pools in late April, a decision has been made to bring forward the closure of the Lambton, Mayfield, Wallsend and Stockton Pools to close of business Sunday 22nd March.

If your child is currently enrolled in the learn to swim program, a credit will be applied to your account for next season.

For those with visit passes, we are extending the expiry date of your passes by one year.

We’d like to take the time to thank our patrons & staff who have been extraordinary through this season. We hope to see you all next summer!

Stay safe.
