The Brisbane squad is moving!
Starting from the 12th May the Brisbane squad will be based from Healthstream in QUT. This is a fantastic opportunity to use a first class facility. Here’s what it means to our members:
– More lane availability. All our sessions will now be in a 50m pool with up to six lanes available at each session.
– No more cold mornings! The pool facilities are first class with the added bonus of being indoors. No need to worry about swimming over winter now or sun exposure in summer.
– Studio for windtrainer sessions. Our windtrainer sessions will now be held in a indoor studio with a sound system.
– Free parking for morning sessions. Validated parking is available for the morning sessions.
– Use of the gym and fitness class facilities. For as low as $16.95 per week you can have access to the pool, gym and fitness classes. Using this membership you will not have to pay pool entry at any time. This also includes entry to the facilities at Kelvin Grove.
– Reduced fees for TAQ members on kids learn to swim classes.
