Nightcliff Aquatic Centre

Reviewed By surfie999 - Darwin, Australia

Biggest drawback is narrow lanes so can be crowded at peak times. Set up for lane swimming and is often heavily used late afternoon, less so other times. Has to be the BEST sunset view at any pool in Australia - magic late in day! Mostly friendly and helpful staff. NOTE - showers are cold water only. Pool blanket retains warm water for dry season swimming comfort.
