Summer swim season starts

The Dave Hume heated pools in Katikati opened their new season on Saturday 4th September. This is a month earlier than normal as the trust will need to close the season early in March for painting.

New for this season, we have a learn to swim programme for 5 to 11-year-olds, called Splash. No other paid coaching will be permitted at the pool.

During school terms, the pool will be open from 610am Monday to Friday and from 11am to 5.45pm on weekends for lane swimmers/lane walkers. However, the school’s use of the pool after the October holidays, means the times available for public use between 9am and 3pm (M-F) will vary. Please check the swim schedule at the pool or online for actual times. Concession and season tickets are available.

When the main pool is being used by a school, the learners’ pool is not available for the public, except for the learn to swim sessions.

We have large steps we can use if you need help into and out of the main pool. Just ask the staff to put them in for you.

Both pools are tap water heated by a hot water bore. The main pool is about 26 to 27 degrees. The small pool is generally between 33 and 34 degrees.

There is a gas BBQ that can be hired for $5 and is bookable via the pool office. It is ideal for birthday parties at the pool. The pool is also an excellent place for a picnic, with a grass bank and trees and artificial shade and of course an inviting pool of water to play in.
