Pool Closures 2026

Due to school carnival bookings, some pools/areas at Harold Holt Swim Centre and Prahran Aquatic Centre will be closed to the public. We’ve made sure there will always be plenty of space and time for you to swim at one of the centres each day. 

All dates and times are subject to change. Check the schedule and plan ahead.

Harold Holt dive pool

The dive pool is available for bookings and deep-water aqua classes.

Please note that the dive tower will not come back into service but will remain as a monument to a bygone era. New one and three-metre springboards will ensure plunging in from a diving board is still very much part of the dive pool.

**From 1st December 2025 until 28 February 2026, the dive pool is open 4-7pm weekdays and 1-6pm weekends. Availability subject to private bookings.
