Leisure Pool and Splash pool closed until 3.30 due to a water quality issue

Please remember to be kind to our team as it is not us causing this water quality issue.

A reminder that our PoolAlone bands and ratios are being strictly adhered to for safety of your children.

While it looks busy please be assured that we also make sure our lifeguard to swimmer ratios are always met for each pool with us counting the number of swimmers numerous times throughout the day.

Any issues while within the Kiwa Pools Complex please feel free to raise this with the Team Leader onsite.

We're nearly there, parents!

It's the final week of the school holidays, and we have plenty going on. Our outdoor pools are still closed, so given our weather, it's the perfect option for burning some energy while stuck inside.

Keep an eye on our events if one catches your eye and you want to be reminded πŸ™Œ

🏊 Kia ora koutou

You might have noticed the pools haven't felt quite as warm on those chilly mornings lately, particularly this morning. Here's what's going on.

The recent cold snaps overnight have caused our pool heating to shut down for long stretches overnight. During the day, the pools are still warming up close to normal; it's just the cold nights causing the hiccup.

We're working with our heating unit provider to sort out the cause, and we're expecting a fix this week.

We know this has dragged on a bit, so thanks for your patience while we get it sorted properly, not just a quick patch, but something that'll hold up next time the temperature drops.

In the meantime, posts like these are also featured on the Antenno app. If you have whānau who aren't on Facebook and want to be kept in the loop for posts like this in the future, please download the app from the App Store or Google Play. No logins required!

A wee bit of shuffling in our top ten, with a newbie cracking the list; good on ya, Kelli MacDonald πŸ™Œ Also, shout-out to Alissa Thomas, who has completed the 45.5km trip over THREE times! 🀯

Not long to go, folks! 13 people have completed the swim to Māhia, with only a couple of participants a few km out from smashing the goal.
