Which aquatic facility is part of Sleeman Sports Complex?

The aquatic facility that is part of Sleeman Sports Complex is the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.

Located in Chandler, about 15 kilometres east of Brisbane’s central business district, the centre was built as part of a sports complex prepared for the 1982 Commonwealth Games. Sleeman Sports Complex also includes velodromes, an arena, gymnastics facilities, a gymnasium and an auditorium, so the aquatic centre is one component of a much larger venue precinct.

The Brisbane Aquatic Centre has four main pools: a 50-metre indoor Olympic pool, a 50-metre outdoor Olympic pool, a 25-metre diving pool and a 25-metre lap pool. Its facilities include diving infrastructure, a moveable bulkhead for short-course swimming and a water fun park. It can seat about 4,300 spectators.

A common mix-up is confusing the venue with similarly named aquatic centres in other Australian cities. The complex’s aquatic facility is specifically the Brisbane Aquatic Centre, while the nearby cycling venues include the older Chandler Velodrome and the newer Anna Meares Velodrome.
