City of Mandurah MARC

A friendly reminder that our scheduled pool maintenance works begin next week. 🏊

The Outdoor 50m Pool will be temporarily closed from Friday, 28 August while these planned works are completed. The MARC will remain open, with only the affected pool unavailable.

See the original post below for all the details. 👇

Looking after our facilities today helps ensure they're available for our community in the future.

As part of our scheduled maintenance program, the MARC will be undertaking planned pool maintenance during August and September.

🏊 Outdoor 50m Pool
Closed Friday, 28 August to Monday, 31 August
Reopens Tuesday, 1 September at 5.30am

💦 Indoor 25m Pool
Closed Friday, 25 September to Monday, 28 September
Reopens Tuesday, 29 September at 5.30am

To help minimise disruption, the maintenance has been scheduled during periods of lower attendance and when resident swimming clubs are away. These works help keep our facilities safe, reliable and operating at their best for our community.

The MARC will remain open during these maintenance periods.

Behind every safe day at the MARC is a team that never stops training.

Our lifeguards regularly refresh and practice their emergency response skills to ensure they're ready to act when it matters most.

Last Friday, the team completed refresher training in CPR and spinal emergency rescues, sharpening the skills they may one day need to use in a real-life emergency.

While we hope these skills are never needed, ongoing training helps ensure our lifeguards can respond quickly, confidently and effectively to help keep our community safe.

A big thank you to our dedicated lifeguard team for their commitment to safety and professionalism every day.

Cold air, warm water and plenty of steam rising off the outdoor pool.

At the MARC, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn essential swimming and water safety skills.

We're proud to partner with Royal Life Saving WA to deliver the Multicultural Swimming Program, helping break down barriers and build confidence for people of all ages. In a water-loving community like Mandurah, these skills can make a real difference for individuals, families and the wider community. 💙🌊
