PRIVATE HIRE

The Murray Bridge Swimming Centre offers a range of private event and use hire options – from full private use of the entire facility to exclusive use of the water play park.

We welcome inquiries from sports clubs for bookings for team training and bonding days, as well as bookings from community groups, schools, and other organisations.

The Swimming Centre also offers ideal facilities for water-based physical therapy and physical recovery activities. The 50m heated pool is wheelchair accessible and we have extensive shaded and grassed areas suitable for land-based activities. We welcome inquiries from health professionals interested in using the space for client therapy sessions.
