Some of history's greatest walls had a purpose...

🏛️ The Trojans had a wall to keep the Greeks out.

🏰 Hadrian built a wall to keep the Scots out.

🐇 Emperor Nasi Goreng even had a Great Wall to keep the rabbits out.

Well... Long Tan Swimming Pool is getting its wall back to keep more swimmers IN the pool for training! 😄🏊

To allow for the safe reinstallation of the 50m pool dividing wall, there will be some temporary closures:

🚧 Long Tan 50m Pool
📅 Closed Tuesday 7 July and Wednesday 8 July

🚧 25m Pool
📅 Closed Tuesday 7 July only

We appreciate everyone's patience while this important upgrade is completed. Once the dividing wall is back in place, we'll once again be able to maximise pool availability, accommodate more swimmers, and provide greater flexibility for training and community use.

A huge thank you to everyone for your understanding. We can't wait to welcome you back once the wall is safely back where it belongs!

See you poolside! 🏊💙

🏊 LONG TAN POOL UPDATE 🏊

As many of you are aware, Long Tan Pool will be closed from 29–30 June while Townsville City Council and the former operator complete the handover process to the new lease holders, Rackley Swimming.

We know this short closure means many of you will miss out on your favourite pastime, but we're excited for what's ahead! The Rackley Swimming team will be open for business from 1 July 2026 and is eager to build on the fantastic swimming community we already have, while further enhancing our region's love affair with the sport of swimming.

A little patience now will help pave the way for an exciting new chapter at Long Tan Pool. We wish the Rackley team every success as they settle in and look forward to seeing the pool buzzing with swimmers once again.

💙 Thank you for your understanding and support.

See you all poolside from 1 July! 🏊☀️

🏊 Meet the Coach Leading the Next Chapter at Gardens Swimming Club! 💙

With decades of coaching experience and a lifelong connection to Townsville, Luc Senent is proud to be back where it all began as Head Coach of Gardens Swimming Club at Rackley Swimming Long Tan, based at Long Tan Memorial Pool.

Luc first stepped onto pool deck as a coach at Long Tan Memorial Pool before returning from Perth in 1988 to help build one of Townsville's most successful swimming programs. Over the years, he transformed the Townsville Tourist Swimming Club from just six swimmers into a nationally recognised program, guiding countless athletes to state and national success in both pool and open water swimming.

Now, Luc is bringing that same passion, knowledge and commitment back to Gardens Swimming Club. Whether your goal is to race at the highest level, improve your technique or simply enjoy being part of a supportive team, Luc is dedicated to helping every swimmer reach their potential in a positive and encouraging environment.

As Luc says, "I'm excited by this new chapter in my life and look forward to getting Gardens Swimming Club back into the winner's circle and to seeing the smiles on the swimmers' faces."

🌟 If you're looking for a welcoming squad with experienced coaching, strong team spirit and a pathway for swimmers of all ages and abilities, now is the perfect time to join Gardens Swimming Club at Rackley Swimming Long Tan.

📍 Long Tan Memorial Pool, Townsville
💙 Join the squad today and be part of the next chapter!

🌊 Exciting times ahead for Townsville! 💙

We're thrilled to be expanding our aquatic family, with Long Tan Memorial Pool and Kokoda Memorial Pool officially joining Tobruk Memorial Baths, Riverway Lagoon, and Northern Beaches Leisure Centre from 1 July.

"This is an exciting chapter for aquatics in Townsville, and our team can't wait to welcome even more families, swimmers and community members poolside," says Kail, General Manager – Townsville.

Whether you're learning to swim, training for your next triathlon, swimming laps before sunrise, racing with the squad, or simply enjoying the many physical and mental benefits of being in the water, we're proud to provide safe, welcoming and vibrant spaces for our community.

As we continue to grow across North Queensland, our commitment remains the same: creating places where people of all ages and abilities can connect, stay active, and develop lifelong confidence in and around the water.

We'd also like to acknowledge and thank David and Kristie from Love2Swim School for their years of dedication and contribution to water safety and swimming in Townsville. We're committed to building on the incredible legacy they have created and ensuring a smooth transition for all swimmers and families.
