It’s fantastic that after a year of upgrade works, the Laverton Swim and Fitness Centre is nearly ready for public use once again.
I had the pleasure of recently touring the upgraded centre and I was thoroughly impressed with what I saw.
Council worked collaboratively with operators BlueFit Group on the upgrades over the last 12 months, turning the centre into a facility the community can enjoy again.
It’s great to see the work that has been done to bring the centre back up to scratch, ensuring its safety and longevity.
The new modern changing rooms look great, the pool deck has been revitalised and the new gym setup is among plenty of other improvements.
The facility will be high quality for all users to enjoy. Parts of the community have toured the site now too, loving what they have seen. I can’t wait to see it open for use for the whole community in the coming weeks.
The Laverton Swim and Fitness Centre has been a valued asset for the community for many years. Constructed off the back of funds raised by the Laverton community in the 1960s and 70s, it has been a special place for many generations of Laverton and Hobsons Bay residents.
The centre is a physical reminder of some of the amazing things that can be achieved when the community comes together.
From learning to swim, to being a place to keep active, the Laverton community and beyond will be well served by the new and improved site.
The centre is also a hub for some great community groups.
The Rainbow Club is a key group that provides swimming instruction for children with disabilities, while the Mandarin Swim Squad provides training sessions in both Mandarin and English. Both groups provide an inclusive and supportive environment for the community to engage in their high-quality services.
The new centre is sure to make a splash with the Laverton and wider Hobsons Bay community.
