The Murraylands Aquatic Centre is a division of the Department for Education Aquatics Programme and has been operating at its current site since 1982. Located 5 kilometres downstream from Murray Bridge at Swanport, just south of the South Eastern Freeway bridge, the centre offers a picturesque lawned setting alongside the River Murray. The 10-acre site is securely fenced and not available to the public during school times.
The Murraylands Aquatic Centre offers a range of activities and fully qualified instructors, providing a safe and unique experience for students wishing to learn various aquatic activities. What sets the centre apart is its proximity to Adelaide, with a one-hour drive making it easily accessible for schools and clubs in the area.
The centre features cabins, camping areas, a sailing club, and two kitchens available for use. This allows for a comprehensive aquatic experience, with options for accommodation and kitchen facilities for visitors to enjoy. The cabins and camping areas provide a comfortable and convenient stay for overnight or extended visits.
The primary aim of the Murraylands Aquatic Centre is to provide an efficient, cost-effective, and responsive service to schools, assisting students in developing knowledge, skills, and understanding in various aquatic areas. The centre focuses on water safety, survival in the water, rescue techniques, mobility in and around water, and environmental issues that impact the river.
The centre also prioritises risk management and has a comprehensive risk assessment plan for all activities. This ensures that all activities are conducted in a safe and controlled manner, with the utmost consideration for the well-being of participants.
