The 65-year-old will retire today after working in almost every role at the pool over more than 40 years.
Mrs Brooks said she started at the facility in 1979, but first became involved with the pool as a 5-year-old when she began swimming lessons.
Her passion for the water grew and eventually she began her first role as a swimming teacher in her early 20s.
As her children grew she took up more hours and became a lifeguard, then progressed to other roles such as receptionist, duty supervisor and over the past six years the customer service team leader.
"I think the only thing I haven’t done is teach the aqua aerobics class."
It was also where she met her future husband, who worked at the pool for a few years.
Across her entire career she had only ever performed two wet rescues.
It took more than 20 years at the pool before she had to jump in, but she still knew exactly what to do when the time came.
She even remembered to take her radio off first, she said.
There were many things she would miss about the job, such as her co-workers and the regular swimmers.
However there were some aspects she was keen to leave behind.
Pools were designed to keep swimmers warm, but that meant a stuffy and hot environment for staff.
It always felt "amazing" to step out of the building and take the first breath of fresh air at the end of the day.
Working throughout the pandemic had been hard and it was the right time to retire, Mrs Brooks said.
There were a few hobbies she wanted to immerse herself in, such as cycling on her new e-bike, but the first few weeks would be dedicated to learning how to live the retired life.
She was looking forward to spending more time with her mother and grandchildren.
A staff morning tea would be held for her today.
