There’s something special about getting your workout done before the world wakes up. The pool is quiet, the lanes are free, and you’ve ticked off your training before most people have even had their first coffee.

That’s why we’re introducing First Wave — our new early morning offer that rewards you for getting in early.

What is First Wave?

Simple: arrive before 10am and pay less. A casual swim is just $8, and gym floor or group fitness access is $12. No membership required. No codes. No booking. Just show up, pay at the desk, and get moving.

When does it run?

First Wave is available Monday to Friday from 5:30am and weekends from 6am, right through until 10am every day. It runs year-round — not a limited promotion, just the new early morning price. This offers starts from the 11th May 2026.

Who is it for?

Whether you’re a regular lap swimmer looking for a better deal, someone who’s been meaning to try the gym, or a pre-work swimmer who wants to be in and out before 8am — First Wave is for you. You don’t need to be a member, and there’s no commitment involved.

Why mornings at The Olympic?

Our 50-metre heated pool is open from 5:30am on weekdays, which means you can squeeze in a genuine training session and still make it to work on time. The gym floor is also fully operational from opening, and several of our group fitness classes start early — perfect if you prefer to move with company.

Ready to ride the First Wave?

Come in any morning before 10am, head to the front desk, and we’ll get you sorted. It’s that easy.
