#1 – Sydney Olympic Park Swimming Centre
The Sydney Olympic Park Swimming Centre is just a short distance away from the centre of Lidcombe. Originally constructed and used for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the centre is now a training and recreational facility, along with occasionally being used for official swimming competitions.
Adults can chill out or swim some laps in the Olympic swimming pool while the kids can enjoy a special children’s play area, with water slides and other water activities to keep them amused. For the more adventurous, take a leap from a diving board or diving platform. You don’t have to be an expert. You can always just jump in feet first.
Other activities of interest include an aquatic playground, rapids, obstacle course and a jungle gym.
If you prefer a game of tennis over swimming in the pool, Sydney Olympic Park Tennis World is virtually right next door to the Aquatic Centre.
