Mark your calendars – Saturday, October 4, is going to be big.
This year marks 25 years of Swan Active Ballajura, and we’re inviting the community to help us celebrate a quarter of a century of fun, fitness and friendship.
Whether you’ve been with us since day one or have only just discovered our centre, this milestone is about you – the people who’ve made Swan Active Ballajura a special place in our community.
Maybe you learned how to swim in our pool, brought your little ones to activities, sipped a coffee while watching from the sidelines, or showed up week after week for group fitness classes or a gym session.
Over 400 swim classes run each week, with upwards of 2,000 students attending, learning strokes and water safety. Some of these swimmers went on to later gain employment at Swan Active Ballajura, and two couples first met at the centre, and those connections eventually turned into marriage.
However you’ve been part of it, you’re part of the story.
Swan Active Ballajura has never been just a leisure centre. It’s a place where families and relationships grow, friendships form, and our community thrives.
Over the past 25 years, we’ve welcomed new faces, watched children grow, celebrated milestones, and supported people at every life stage.
Our longest-serving staff members have contributed more than 100 years of combined experience, sharing their knowledge and passion with generations of members.
From swimming lessons to seniors’ classes, early morning workouts to after-school activities, thousands of people have moved through our doors – and many keep coming back. The connections formed here prove that community extends far beyond the walls of a gym or pool.
We believe the friendships built through community can last a lifetime, and Swan Active Ballajura has played a big part in creating those connections by creating a welcoming space where everyone feels they belong.
So come on down, reconnect with familiar faces, let the kids burn off some energy, and join us in celebrating everything that makes our Ballajura community vibrant and unique.
We can’t wait to see you there – because you’re part of the Swan Active family.
