FAQs – Swimming Pool Parties

Do you have catering options?

Let us take the stress out of your Birthday Party planning and take advantage of our healthy food catering options. You may purchase any items from our menu to be provided for your party. While our focus and preference is on offering healthy food options, we do also offer classic party food.
All food is delivered fresh from our Moving Bodies kitchen, straight to your party room as soon as your group has finished their Swimming activities.

HEALTHY FOOD CATERING OPTIONS

The link below will provide you with our catering options where you can create your own unique menu.
If you select the catering option, at the time of booking your party, we will contact you approximately 2 weeks prior to your party to send you a reminder along with the Party Catering Options. You can then place your order and pre-pay for your catering. Orders and payment for your menu is required no less than 1 week prior to your party.

You may choose to mix and match your own food with some of our catering too – no minimum spend required, however, if you spend over $100 on our catering, we will provide plates, cups, napkins and jugs of water, along with waiving the $50.00 party room hire fee.

Birthday Cake – a personalised birthday cake is available. Please see our catering options below.

* Our ordering system is currently down. Please call reception team on 9457 7732 to pay for online food orders.

Can I BYO food?

You are welcome to bring your own food for your party and have use of our Party Room after the 90 minutes of Pool activities. Please note for all BYO parties there is a room hire fee of $50.00 for 30 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes at the end to pack away and vacate the room.

If you order over $100 of catering from our kitchen, we will waive the $50.00 room hire fee.

When planning for your BYO menu, we do ask that there are NO take away or delivered pizzas.
Please do not bring take away pizzas or have pizzas delivered to the Moving Bodies Centre.
Whilst we do allow BYO, we kindly ask that you do not bring any food warmers, grills, small ovens or tea/coffee making facilities – sorry no coffee or food vans are permitted.

As part of BYO, parents will be required to bring party food, drinks, plus plates, cutlery, cups, napkins and tablecloth (optional). Party tables and chairs are available.  A bin and bin liner will also be provided along with a recycling bin for plastic water bottles and cans.  We encourage you and your guests to be mindful of rubbish and recycling.

You must provide labelled bottled water for every child attending your party. These bottles will be placed beside the gym floor, so that children can access them at the appropriate break times given by the coaches. Alternatively, we can provide bottled water via our catering options. * Our ordering system is currently down. Please call reception team on 9457 7732 to pay for online food orders.

Party / Gift Bags

Can I make purchases from the Cafe or create a Cafe tab?

Parents and guests may make their own individual purchases at the Moving Bodies Café for any hot / cold drinks. The cafe is located in our Ninja Warrior / Aquatics Centre.

Alternately, a Moving Bodies Café tab can be provided for your party guests.  This can include hot and cold drinks and would be as per your specification.  Our friendly reception staff will be happy to assist you on your party day.  Your Café tab must be settled at the conclusion of your party.
As previously noted, when you spend over $100 on catering from our kitchen, we will waive the $50.00 room hire fee – your cafe tab does not count towards the catering bill. 

When is my Party Payment required?

1) A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your booking.

2) We will contact you approximately 2 weeks before your party date to send you a party checklist reminder which will include the party catering options. You will be required to order and pay for your catering no less than 1 week prior to your party.
