BayFit Leisure Centre - Altona North (VIC)

1 /5 Bianca: The gym is great but the pool area is thoroughly disgusting. Theres rust leaching into the pools and for some reason theres sand at the bottom of the hydrotherapy pool that never gets cleaned. Watch out also for sharp cracks in the underwater tiles; people keep injuring themselves but management never fix the damage. Worst of all are the people who use the spa jets to clean themselves. Honestly it just turns my stomach.

5 /5 shima Maleki: BayFit Center in Altona is a fantastic place for families! The swimming pool is always very clean, and the facilities are excellent, especially if you have little kids. It’s super convenient with plenty of parking, and the on-site café makes it even better the coffees and snacks are great. Everything is well maintained, family-friendly, and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable place to swim and relax.

5 /5 Marrianne Beaty: My fellow water aerobics (Splash Dancing) friend (Barb) had a problem in the pool on last Friday evening. She is recovering from a bad injury that required extensive surgery, and has limited mobility. The wonderful Jason and the water aerobics group are helping her improve her physical condition in a very constructive way. However, she suddenly developed a very sharp pain in her leg, which made her unable to leave the pool. I went to help her and next thing Duty Manager and lovely soul Maddie, jumped into the water, fully clothed with the wonderful Alex (swimming instructor) also clothed, to help Barb out. They went well beyond what I could have expected to help Barb get out of the water, and on her way home to go to the hospital for treatment. She is still there 3 days later and probably will be home soon, but I can only marvel at the excellent treatment she was provided with at her time of need. These staff at Bayfit Altona are sensational, I have previously written feedback about the reception staff, but it extends to all the staff that work there! Thank you from both Barb and myself for all your kind assistance, attention and hard work to help Barb get out of the pool last Friday. Words cant express how grateful the whole class were for their immediate assistance. You all deserve thanks for what you do in your daily jobs. I know staff are not regularly treated as well as they should be so please people, be more patient and understanding that they have difficult jobs and too many people to please at one time. We just feel blessed that you are so kind and caring. THANK YOU ALL!!

1 /5 C C: This centre is so dirty and neglected. However, reading other reviews, it’s clear to see that I’m not the only patron who feels this way. The grates around the pool are grimy or mouldy, while the floor is a putrid shade of brown/grey and leaves the water coming off your feet in a similar colour. You can barely read the “shallow water do not dive sign” on the floor due to how filthy it is. There has been an orange witches cone on a bollard in the kids pool for who knows how long, and the tiles are coming off or loose in this area too. The family change rooms are like a 90s nightmare that are often semi blocked on a Saturday due to parents sitting in front of them because there isn’t enough seating for everyone. It’s clear that regular cleaning checks are not being done in the change rooms and showers. On several visits to the pool there have been clumps of hair and soggy biscuits on the floor throughout the female changing rooms and showers. Whoever leaves it like this in the first place is just a gross human, but to know it’s not being cleaned up by the centre is also foul. The ceiling above the showers is riddle with mould, so I dread to think what that’s doing for everyone health. The gates as you enter the facility look like a crack addict had kicked them in and the solution for repair is duct taping pool noodles onto them! After 1 review like this, you’d hope management would want to lift their game. Yet after multiple and there’s no change, you wonder what on earth is going on?
