The PNSC moved into its new home at The Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park on August 1st, 2010. Located a stone's throw away from our former home at Percy Norman Pool, this beautiful facility features a leisure tank, a 50m lap pool and an outdoor aquatic area. For a map to the pool, click here.
Here are some interesting facts about the Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park:
