Aqua fitness in Perth

The City of Victoria Park's aquatic centre, open from 5.30am on weekdays. Four pools — an outdoor 50m, an indoor 25m, a leisure pool and a hydrotherapy pool — plus a steam room and spa, a gym, and a group fitness programme that includes aqua classes. Casual adult swim entry is $8.20 and gym or group fitness is $20, which makes it one of the cheapest ways into warm water in Perth's inner south-east.

The City of Vincent's pool and fitness centre runs one of Perth's biggest aqua timetables — Aqua 4 All, Aqua Balance, Aqua Cardio, Aqua HIIT, Aqua Zumba and Deep Aqua — plus a 40-minute Stretch & Flex class, with casual entry from $12.40 concession and class packs available.

A City of Canning centre running three distinct aqua classes rather than one generic timetable: Aqua Fit as a cardio and conditioning session for sixteen and over, Aqua Stick using rubber bands on a bar for added resistance, and Revitalise Aqua, a low-impact class the city describes as designed for people over fifty. A second pool runs the same programme at Riverton. Bookings open twenty-two hours before each class.

The state aquatic centre on Stephenson Avenue, still widely known as HBF Stadium, running deep-water aqua classes alongside its pools and gym floor. Deep water means the feet do not touch the bottom and buoyancy equipment holds you up, which the centre notes is open to people who are not confident swimmers. Classes come with gym membership or can be paid for singly.
