The centre's facilities include:
Two 50 m swimming pools, each able to be split into sections of varying dimensions and depths with the help of moveable floors and booms.
In fact, the centre has the world's largest area of movable floors and booms in a swimming facility.

The "main pool" on the ground floor is 50 m by 20 m with a maximum depth of 2 m. A sinkable boom can separate the pool into a 23 m by 21 m with constant depth between floor level and 2 m depth; and a 25 m by 21 m section at 2 m depth, which in turn can be separated by another sinkable boom to allow a section of 10 m by 21 m. The floors of these 3 sections can each be independently raised or lowered between very shallow and 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) depth.
1,000 permanent spectator seats overlook the main pool hall.

The "training pool" is located in the basement and is 16 m by 50 m in size, with a constant depth of 1.8 m. A traversable boom allows separation into two 25 m length pools, one of which can be varied in depth from floor level to 1.8 m. The training pool's ceiling is in the shape of two long waves representing waves on water.

A 25 m diving pool (ground level) with movable floor to allow a maximum depth of 5.1 m. The pool is often also used for water polo, and scuba diving training.

A "leisure pool" (ground floor) – a shallow water area suitable for younger pool users, with two water flumes and two bubble pools.

Workout and fitness studios (behind the spectator seating), a health suite including sauna and steam room.

Poolside cafe.
