Wonderful tour! Our guide is currently an athlete at the AIS and was a wealth of knowledge. You get to see a fair bit of the place and if you’re lucky enough, some athletes might be training!
Good tour

Empty halls - boring. No athletes to be seen - boring. Everything we saw could have been a photo, all those facilities for 120 athletes and no evidence of the return on investment. You should be selling the facility to is punters! Guide was good (WA 1500m swimmer)
Great
