The Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) will be a major focus during the 2006 Commonwealth Games, hosting aquatics, table tennis and squash.

In preparation, MSAC has undergone a major upgrade delivering:

• a new 50-metre open-air competition pool(permanently roofed)
• 3000 seat permanent grandstand
• additional hydrotherapy facilities
• additional change rooms
• 300 space multi-storey car park
• office space for sporting associations.

MSAC is already one of Australia's best integrated sports complexes – and this upgrade will help it stay at the industry forefront. For everyday users, this means better facilities for keeping fit, learning to swim or just having fun.

The new pool was officially opened on 19 December 2005.
