Council is inviting the community to enjoy celebrations at Tobruk Memorial Pool, the Marlin Coast Swimming and Fitness in Smithfield, and Woree Sports and Aquatic Centre this Australia Day.
All events are from 9am to midday, and entry is free.
Cairns Mayor Terry James encourages residents to enjoy the activities available at the three venues.
"As well as pool games, DJs, face painters, jumping castles, charity barbecues, and stand-up paddle boarding, people can also give underwater hockey and water polo a try.
"Australia Day is a time to reflect on what it means to be Australian, celebrate those things we love about our nation, and take the time to get together with family and friends and enjoy each other's company."
Friday (26 January) will also take on extra significance for 73 Cairns residents, who will become Australians on Australia Day.
