Dive into the fun at Te Ngaengae Pool + Fitness

Get ready, Naenae! The much anticipated pool is opening, and we’re kicking things off with six FREE swim sessions on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December. It’s your chance to be among the first to make a splash!

To join the fun, you’ll need a special wristband. We’re handing some out to local schools, and the rest will be available at the Naenae Neighbourhood Hub (library) starting 11am Saturday 7 December. These wristbands are hot property and will go fast—so be prepared to queue early!

You might not snag your first-choice session, but we’re making sure as many people as possible get a chance to experience the pool over the weekend—safely, of course.

So, mark your calendars, gather your whānau, and let’s celebrate this exciting new community space! See you at the pool!

The free swim session times are as follows:

Please note - to keep the pool safe and enjoyable for everyone, each swim session has limited numbers. If you plan to pick a wristband up from the Hub, please note it will be a limit of 4 wristbands per person, to make sure they’re spread around.

If swimmers are aged 10 or under, they’ll need to be accompanied to the pool by a supervising adult who won’t need a wristband. Wristbands will be available until the allocation for each session is exhausted.
