About Manning Aquatic Centre

Manning Aquatic Centre is a public aquatic and leisure facility operated by Bathurst Regional Council in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. The complex typically features heated indoor and outdoor pools, dedicated learn-to-swim areas, a toddler/children’s pool, spa and sauna, and family recreation spaces. It also offers structured programs such as swimming lessons for all ages, squad training, school and club bookings, and a range of health and fitness activities, including aqua aerobics and other group water‑based fitness classes. Information about current opening hours, programs, and facility rules is available at bathurstaquatic.com.au.

A “Manning Aquatic Centre” or similarly worded charge on your bank or card statement is usually related to entry fees, swimming lessons, fitness classes, or membership/season passes purchased at the centre. Charges may appear as one‑off casual entry payments, term‑based learn‑to‑swim fees, multi‑visit passes, or ongoing membership debits if you’ve set up a direct debit. You may also see a charge after enrolling online, renewing a pass, purchasing a gift voucher, or paying for school or club lane hire. In some cases, a small temporary “pending” amount may appear as an authorization hold when you add or update a card for direct debit or online booking; this should drop off automatically once your bank finalizes the transaction.

If you’re unsure about a Manning Aquatic Centre charge, first check recent visits by you or family members, any swim school enrolments, passes, or memberships tied to your household. Look for receipts or booking confirmations in your email, and review any direct debit agreements you may have signed through the centre or via bathurstaquatic.com.au. To resolve questions, contact the centre using the phone number or contact form listed on their official website, and have the date, amount, and last four digits of the card handy so staff can look up the payment. Common issues—such as charges after cancelling, duplicate scans, or confusion between term fees and membership debits—are usually resolved by confirming your account details and, where appropriate, adjusting or refunding the payment in line with Bathurst Regional Council’s aquatic centre policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a charge from Manning Aquatic Centre on my card?

Most card charges from Manning Aquatic Centre relate to casual pool entry, learn‑to‑swim term fees, multi‑visit passes, spa/sauna access, or water‑based fitness classes. If you or a family member recently attended lessons, renewed a pass, or joined a membership through the centre, that payment will typically appear under “Manning Aquatic Centre” or a similar descriptor on your statement. Check any recent sign‑ups, online bookings made via bathurstaquatic.com.au, or school/club swim activities linked to your household.

What are typical amounts I might see from Manning Aquatic Centre?

Common charges include small amounts for single casual entries and lane swimming, mid‑range amounts for 10‑visit or multi‑visit passes, and higher lump sums for a full term of learn‑to‑swim lessons or squad fees. If you are on a direct debit membership, you may see a regular fortnightly or monthly charge rather than a large upfront amount. Exact prices and discounts (such as family, concession, or off‑peak rates) can change, so check the current fees and charges section on bathurstaquatic.com.au or contact the centre directly for a breakdown of your specific transaction.

Why do I see a recurring Manning Aquatic Centre charge each fortnight or month?

Recurring charges are usually linked to a direct debit membership or ongoing program such as a swim squad, regular fitness classes, or continuous learn‑to‑swim enrolment. When you sign a membership or debit form, you agree to be charged on a set cycle until you cancel in writing or follow the centre’s cancellation process. Review your membership paperwork or emails, or contact the centre to confirm what type of plan you’re on and the next scheduled debit date.

How do I cancel or pause my Manning Aquatic Centre membership or swim lessons?

To cancel or suspend a membership, most users need to complete a cancellation or hold request form either in person at reception or via the contact details provided on bathurstaquatic.com.au. The centre usually requires a minimum notice period before your next direct debit date, and some passes or lesson programs can’t be partially refunded once a term has started. For learn‑to‑swim, speak with the swim school coordinator or reception to arrange withdrawals, transfers to another day, or temporary suspensions in line with the current program policy.

How can I request a refund or dispute a charge from Manning Aquatic Centre?

If you believe you’ve been incorrectly charged (for example, a duplicate transaction, a debit after timely cancellation, or a fee for a service you couldn’t access), contact Manning Aquatic Centre as soon as possible. Provide your full name, contact details, the date and amount of the charge, and any receipts or screenshots available so staff can locate the payment in their system. Refunds and credits are considered under Bathurst Regional Council’s facility and refund policies, and in some cases a credit to your account or extension of your pass may be offered instead of a cash refund.

Why is there a small pending or $0–$2 transaction from Manning Aquatic Centre on my statement?

A small pending charge or very low‑value transaction is often an authorization hold used by the payment processor to confirm that your card is valid when you first set up a direct debit or make an online booking. This is not an actual fee and should either disappear or be updated to the correct transaction amount within a few business days, depending on your bank. If the small hold does not clear or is followed by an unexpected larger charge, contact both your bank and the aquatic centre for clarification.

How do I contact Manning Aquatic Centre about a charge on my account?

Visit bathurstaquatic.com.au and go to the Contact or Manning Aquatic Centre page for the current phone number, email address, and opening hours. When you call or email, include the exact amount, transaction date, last four digits of your card, and any reference numbers from your bank so staff can quickly locate your payment. You can also visit reception during opening hours if you prefer to speak to someone in person about your account or billing history.

The amount I was charged doesn’t match the advertised entry fee—why?

Differences between the advertised casual entry price and the amount charged are often due to add‑ons such as spa/sauna access, multiple entries for a family group, or purchasing a multi‑visit pass rather than a single visit. For swim lessons or programs, you may be charged for an entire term in one transaction or see pro‑rated fees if you joined mid‑term. Request an itemized receipt at the time of purchase or ask reception or support staff to re‑print or email your receipt so you can see exactly what was included in the charge.
