AquatiC Legacy Project

Phase 2 – Commenced January 2026

In January 2026, we are beginning the next Aquatic project to refurbish the Millennium Learn to Swim pool.  This pool is 25 years old and is heavily utilised every day for our Swim School children and their families. Construction works will begin from Monday 12th January for approximately two weeks of deconstructing the current pool structure before the rebuilding begins.  There will be a period of noise and disruption during this initial phase of the project and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
 
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of construction and look forward to reopening the Learn to Swim pool for Term 2 classes to recommence.

Phase one – Completed January 2026

Over the past decade, we’ve welcomed a diverse mix of people through our doors – from children taking part in learn-to-swim lessons, school students attending water safety classes, members attending swim sessions and aquatic classes, to athletes and supporters travelling from across Aotearoa taking part in local and national events.  

As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe, high-quality environment for our community, we were undertaking essential and critical infrastructure upgrades across our aquatic facilities. The National Aquatic Centre 50m pool was re-grouted, which enabled the pool to continue operating for the next 10 years without the need to empty and refill the pool multiple times for patched area repairs.
