The Haileybury Waterlions Swimming Club is based at the magnificent "Grenda Aquatic Centre" within the grounds of Haileybury College in Keysborough.
Haileybury College Pool
(Grenda Aquatic Centre)
855-891 Springvale Rd
Keysborough
(Melways 88 J10)
Directions on how to get to the pool are included below.
We also have squads training at the Berwick and Brighton campuses of Haileybury College. Fastlane Aquatics have swim lessons at these other Haileybury pools as well.
The Pool:
The Grenda Aquatic Centre houses a heated 50 metre indoor 8-lane pool with a moveable bulkhead, allowing our swimmers to train for both long-course and short-course depending on the season.
The complex is equipped with electronic timing, has ample spectator seating and has plenty of parking in the school grounds. As a result, Metro District South has selected the Haileybury pool for the district competitions for many years.
The Haileybury pool was also used by one of the top overseas teams for pre-Olympic training before the 2000 Sydney Olympics and by the Australian Commonwealth Games team before the 2006 Games in Melbourne.
This is not a public pool, so we do not have to cope with the problems associated with sharing lane space with the public such as restricted training hours, overcrowding, people swimming across the lanes, noise, security, etc.
Location & Directions to the Pool:
Haileybury College Keysborough is on Springvale Rd, 200m south of Cheltenham Rd (Melways 88 J10).
Have a look at us using Google Maps. Choose either a close-up or suburb-level view.
If you are travelling south down Springvale Rd, enter the first gate on the left just after the left lane merges. If that gate is closed, continue on for 100m to the main gate.
If you are travelling north up Springvale Rd, turn right into the main gate - there is a turning lane to help.
Once inside the main gates, follow the road around to the right around the main oval for 100m to arrive at the pool. There is ample parking at the rear of the pool and all patrons are asked to park at the rear rather than along the road.
