There is an outdoor Olympic-sized 50 metre pool, and an undercover heated 25 metre pool. Originally called "Port Macquarie Memorial Baths", it was Opened on 1 October, 1966. The cost for participants over 2 years of age was $4.50, and $1.50 for Observers in October 2017; but the waymark site 'rounds it off'.
"The Port Macquarie Olympic Pool was officially opened in 1966. The pool was able to be built due to the fundraising to assist in building the amenities block."
"Swimwell is a company owned and operated by the Mullens Family with over thirty years experience in operating swimming centres.
Swimwell has proudly been associated with the Port Macquarie Olympic Pool since its opening in 1966. Cindy Mullens (nee Abbott) is honoured to be one of the owners of a tile at the front used to fundraise the amenities block.
"Cindy and Michael Mullens are proud to have managed the Port Macquarie Olympic Pool for the past twelve years and have implemented many changes including:
* Returning a run down facility to it's current state of repair providing a modern, safe, clean environment for all to enjoy.
* Erection of indoor swimming pool to cater for young Learn to Swim groups, disabled or special needs persons requiring rehabilitation.
* Implementation of swim programs to cater for all age, ability and cultural backgrounds.
* Implementing a coaching program to cater for Country, State, and National level swimmers." (
