City of Mandurah MARC

Came down this afternoon to MARC, the staff were lovely. Enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools plus the spa. The toilet and shower amenities were nice and clean as well.

Well laid out, clean and plenty of lifeguards. Cafe on site. Nice grass area for a picnic. Very pleasant place for a relax or work out.

A great family-friendly venue with heaps of options. A 1 stop fitness option at affordable prices.

Loved it! Great for children any age love how there's both indoor an outdoor pools, great price for a family of 4 $22

Have been attending, with some breaks, for a few years now. Was taking the aquarobics classes several times a week, which I hugely enjoyed. It was great exercise for those not necessarily fit for full gym work on dry land. Personally, with previous back surgeries and hip replacement, I find it a great way to keep mobile. Covid closed it for a while, obviously, then I had a knee op and now another hip replacement recently. In the meantime, they had an issue with part of the roof collapsing and to my knowledge have yet to find a contractor to complete the work at a not exhorbitant price so that section of the pools is now closed off, a shame but they are doing what they can to cope, aquarobics now moved to outside pool. The centre offers a lot besides water sports, with netball, exercise classes squash courts etc. Coffee and snack shop as well, and a lot of groups have coffee and socialise after classes. At these times, they need more than one girl making coffee. That's a staff issue and also I find the new staff, after reopening are not as nice as the previous staff members who always had a smile and greeting on arrival. Before my recent return to the pool for rehab, etc, after surgery, I called into the centre to check on what was available in the pool area as I was aware of the roof issue. The lady I spoke with was quite "abrupt" in her manner, not a smile to be seen, as if I were inconveniencing her with my enquiry. My recent visits have been met with efficient but not pleasant service, not a smile or greeting to be seen, just "next" or "what can we do for you today" but not pleasantly, by rote.
It is still a great centre, I usually use weekdays only to avoid busy weekends when more children and families are in attendance. It will be great when it is fully reopened, but that might be some time off yet.

Plenty of parking, but still gets busy on weekends. Shame that outdoor pool always has lane ropes, which I believe discourages playing groups and favours the VERY few lap swimmers! This was at 1030am on a Sunday.

Sort your staffing issues out. I want some chips. Also cold spa, broken crammed sauna. Family room was full of nappies. Come
On…. What did I just pay for,

Usually a great place to visit but with the main pool not being used due to the roof it makes it very crowded. There is quite a long walk to get into thw pool which is hard for disabled and mobility challenged.

Very good venue long way to walk.staff amazing and helpful cafe good plenty tables.wonderful spa nice and hot! Bubbly huge place! Thank you Karen for the lovely chats!

With the main indoor pool closed indefinitely it's hard going to use the outdoor pool in this cold weather.

Would be better if heated pool was fixed only got a pool which is up to you're waist inside spa was excellent

My kid had an amazing time here, the facilities were also very clean and well stocked with amenities.

MARC offers everything you need for exercising. Plus, the staff are always helpful and friendly. It is a good community atmosphere.

This is a good place for the kids. Not the best to do rehab work with people who are movement impaired. IT WAS VERY BUSY on the Saturday morning that we visited. It quietened down after swimming lessons had finished. The fact that it is still awaiting renovations to some of their area doesn't help. It is great to see it so busy. The staff are great despite what is happening with the renovations. A good mix of young and old to reflect their customer base. Not like some centres that are mainly kids.

With the main indoor pool closed for over 1 year, got there today and the outdoor pool due to weather?

Good price and great couch of swimming school. However I felt have been treated rudely few times at the reception.

Started aqua aerobics here then a couple weeks later they changed all the session times. So I cancelled my membership 9.20 was perfect for mums.

Helpful staff, clean facilities. The large indoor pool is still closed but the indoor children's pool is open. The large outdoor swimming pool, which is heated, has been adjusted to make two pools at the moment. One side is purely set up for swimming only as it is to deep to stand.

Excellent facilities but at reception, not sure whether the ladies are getting paid or they are volunteering. What an unfriendly experience every time I ask for anything. Rolling eyes and unkind responses.

Good facilities, great cafe, great classes some abrupt staff at reception, good value memberships, signs by life guards with police type chequed signs saying they're 'targeting ' makes the customer experience at times feel like your in the line to a booze bus.
Covid Marshall seems to bark at you like I'm a piece of livestock back out in regional bush.
Overall good place but could improve
