Pools for swimming in Christchurch

“So glad they retained this paddling pool. Great for littlies and for adults who want to sit and cool off their feet.”

“A hidden gem out in the country.Nice grounds ,plenty of shade and even waterlines for the kids.”

“Bumblebees is part of our lifestyle now and the baby hasn’t even started yet. It’s an easy and good vibe here. Only have to ask the kids to put their shoes on once when it’s time for Bumblebees.”

“Kids had a blast. We turned up looking for a late evening swim but it was closed for an event. The staff directed us to another local pool (loved their friendliness). We came back the next day and had a great time. Good clean facilities, plenty for the family to do and priced accordingly”

“Probably the best learn to swim school in Christchurch. Professional tutoring who have empathy with children.”

“I can’t recommend Canterbury Spa & Pool enough! Every time I go in, the team is friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful. Whether it’s advice, water tests, product suggestions, or just peace of mind, they are happy to help. You can tell they truly care about their customers. If you’re looking for a reliable place with people who know their stuff, this is it!"”

“This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.”

“We had a perfect morning for this planned trip thankfully as you need to prebook on the website. The pools were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. While we spent the entire visit in a single pool, there were many choices and I have tried them out on different occasions. In my opinion this is a great pool to bring a baby/toddler family to. The 1st pool has a big terraced entrance for new water babies and a deeper part so that adults can hover along the edge of the shallow section supporting their tamariki. I highly recommend.”

“Good swimming facilities with great staff, facilities and students”

“Kings swim school staff are so incredibly lovely, helpful and accommodating . The facilities are very clean and family orientated. I couldn't recommend a better swim school to send your child to!”

“Great coaches, son is really enjoying his school swimming classes, we might have to come back and continue. He has mobility issues and it works well for him”

“Excellent service, very knowledgeable and came across as honest and helpful. Would recommend to new pool owners”

“Love the womens only Wednesdays. Change rooms, toilets and showers are always clean and tidy. An awesome facility with friendly staff.”

“I love this pool, I always come here when I can. The kids love swimming in the different sized pools. We always have fun can't wait to come here again soon. I definitely recommend coming here it's a great place for all ages with swim equipment that you can buy at the front desk like googles, swim wear, and water toys for the kids. I've also heard that there's a gym, but haven't had a look even tho I've been going here for years.”

“Matt is fantastic to work with. He's an invaluable source of information. Great service and knowledge, and he'll help get the best results out of your pool. He's great at reigning in my Google based ideas to save me money while guiding with a grin!”

“Very helpful & honest good advice”

“Thank you so much Dion for your excellent service in providing us our new pool cover. After getting many quotes from companies in Auckland and finding the exact same product at Niveau in Christchurch for many thousands cheaper, we were absolutely rapt with how quickly and professionally the product was delivered and installed by Dion and his team and we would highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to buy or upgrade their pool cover no matter where you are based in the country. Easiest 5 star review ever.”

“We stayed there for around 4-5 months, and it was our best experience. Philippa is amazing and lovely. She was very helpful and quick when we needed something. We felt as if we were at home. We never had any problems there. Everything in the house worked properly, and it has everything you need to have an incredible time. Without a doubt, it is the best place to stay in Christchurch. Thank you Philippa for everything! We truly appreciate you and we will miss you!❤️”

“I’d spent most of the summer trying to work out why our pool was losing so much water, with no success. Mike came around to my place with his leak detection equipment and found the source of the leak within no time. He also managed the repair, which was far less expensive than what I was expecting. With the imminent water charges in Christchurch, I was very happy that Mike could sort out our pool. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Can't recommend these spas highly enough. They are incredibly energy efficient, comfortable and well made. We liked the one we had at our old house so much we got another one for the next. Steve is exceptionally helpful and the aftercare he provides is second to none and to say he goes the extra mile is an understatement. You won't regret buying from him!”

“I'm the in-home massage and rehab specialist at The Balanced Dog and I recommend this facility to many of my clients. I'm also a long-standing happy customer. My older dog swam here for almost 2 years before she passed away at the age of 14+. My greyhound is currently swimming regularly here.”

“Loved the water play right by the beach! Coming from Dunedin on a special trip because we don't have anything like it!”
