Public pools in Auckland

“My daughter is learning swimming here through swimgym in otara and she is loving it.. ❤️”

“Took two of my nieces aged 6 & 9, that were here for the school holidays from Melbourne. They had a wonderful time, lots of activities to keep them occupied.”

“Great outdoor heated pools. Staff are lovely. Always clean.”

“We love this place! Indoor pools and outdoor splash pad, spa and sauna - very convenient for every age group. Oh, you can book a birthday party there too and you'll get the entire training pool just for your group.”

“This has one of the best young kids areas I've seen, and it's heated! The staff are friendly and everything I saw is clean. It's a wonderful free resource for the community, highly recommend!”

“Really nice pool for lane swimming. Water is clean and the facilities in general seem to be well maintained. Front of house staff have all been friendly and helpful too. And I like that cat that sometimes sits on the front desk :)”

“This five star rating is for Ranjita who works on reception. Ranjita is always friendly and helpful and it goes above and beyond. It’s always a pleasure to be greeted and helped by Ranjita”

“Always a nice pool to visit. It's cooler than other pools at first but nice if you plan to do a lot of exercise there.”

“Beautiful out door Pools. Water is nice and cold with beautiful weather to go with it”

“This place is quiet and relaxing, a local secret that doesn't get too busy. If you want the whole pool to yourself, go first thing in the morning. Bring a picnic!”

“Pretty good place to swim at however it does get a bit cold sometimes especially in winter. Usually in holidays the fun lane at daytime does get quite a lot of people going there. They have really nice staff there and are very helpful. The elevator which is outside the doors below the stairs to the left sometimes does take a while for it to come down and open sometimes. Its pretty nice since most of the time in the mornings all the other lanes do not have much people swimming there so theres usually plenty of lanes.”

“Came back to West wave gym after fifteen years away doing other sports, fortunately for me I met a personal trainer by the name of Noah there who was able to give me some solid direction and guidance. Noah’s vast knowledge and his passion for all things health and fitness has been an integral part of my strength, cardio and mobility development. Very Grateful to all the staff at West wave but most of all my friend Noah! Simon Lane”

“Amazingly safe pool spot. I take my nephew to swimming as a beginner to Rebecca and he absolutely loves her as well as the class. A little something for everyone and with summer around the corner the outdoor pool will be a great place to hang out”

“The workers are very friendly. Excellent place to train. They opened a new gym with good cardio machines and racks. You can use the Spa, Steam and Sauna. There are two swimming pools, one for adults and one for children. Cameron Pool and Leisure is in the middle of a beautiful park with green areas, children's play and parking.”

“As a 1st timer I was surprised and happy with my visit. The showers were warm and hot , the temperature of both the sauna and steam were just right that I can stay longer compared to other venues and the outdoor spa is fine with bubbles. I will definitely visit this pool again :-)”

“Great experience, aqua walking at the pool to help heal my injured knee”

“Our pool is finished and we are delighted with the result! Toby's communication and client service has been excellent through the entire process and I am so grateful that he went the extra mile to also help me get the colour we wanted :-). Rhys has also been great on the technology side and showing us the ropes. Very happy to recommend Pools By Design.  Look forward to enjoying our pool this summer.”

“Wow!! Not only was the product great but management and process was seamless and the boys on site were just great guys. Mistakes by others were fixed at no cost without question. Fantastic.....I'm just delighted.”

“Very fun little swimming hole at low tide. Actually gets pretty deep in some spots, but be careful of rocks that are sharp at the bottom. It warms up at the peak of low tide but as the waves start coming over as the tide rises, it gets cold.”

“These guys were my savior! What an awesome experience, I’m super grateful for your help Renee, 10/10 customer service, you came to our rescue we ran out of water and made sure we got our water delivered faster to make sure we didn’t have to go without water for long! You have a new customer out of us.”

“We went there on a weekday for our wedding anniversary, and I'd say it was a worth it drive. The facilities were clean, the temperatures were just as described, and the staff were really accommodating. The only thing lacking would be the Cafe not being open on weekdays, which they resolved with an assortment of instant meals and ready-to-eat Kimbap! We enjoyed our experience and will definitely come back again!”

“Been coming here since the mid 1990s. Nothing has changed, which is great! Awesome tables to play pool or snooker on, friendly staff, all the drinks you could want. Not much has changed in 30 years - it was awesome then and it remains the same!!”

“We've had our Flash spa tub for 12 months and absolutely love it! It isn't just great for our aching muscles at the end of the day, but it is a great time for our family to spend time together and chat. Lee has been amazing to deal with. Highly recommend!”

“Very nice and large park in the busy Onehunga area. The flora are well maintained and the walkways are nicely curated. The location is easily accessible and ample parking is available on the streets. Public toilets are available and are nicely maintained. A large sized fountain is also installed in here. A decent sized children's play area is there, which attracts a lot of kids. Proximity to the Onehunga pools is an added advantage. Well recommended.”

“Free local pools. The facilities are well maintained, staff are friendly and welcoming. We’re lucky to have Otahuhu Pools in the area.”

“I visited a couple of times during my stay in Newmarket. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I can’t fault the value — a day pass was very affordable at NZD $11 (around £6 for me). Please note that this review is intended as constructive feedback and does not reflect my overall positive experience of visiting. The changing rooms felt a little run down, and a spin dryer for swimsuits would have been useful. The pool itself was a great length, though I did experience a strong chlorine reaction in my eyes. The sauna was more like a saunarium, while the steam room was excellent it was spacious, consistently producing great steam, and one of the best I’ve been to. That said, it could have been cleaned more thoroughly but maybe it was the time of day i entered, and the ceiling may need replacing at some point. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here, especially the 50m pool the first I’ve come across. Many thanks.”

“I love visiting Franklin Leisure Centre. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the facilities are always clean, and there is a great sense of community! I enjoy my swim every time and parking is never a problem. Its my local, and I rate it PRIMO status.”

“It was a great time and fun at the pools , doing booms and swimming kids enjoy their swim.”
