It would see the current Napier Aquatic Centre close temporarily while wide-scale renovations took place.
The result would be a $19.5m extension of existing facilities - a new 25m x 25m pool, a 12.5m x 8m learners' pool, a new gym and health and wellness centre, and a lifespan of around 15 years.
Option two, the 25-Metre New-Build, could be constructed alongside the current facility - meaning the pools could remain open throughout.
It offers three new pools - a new 25m x 25m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 25m x 12m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness.
There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost is $37m and the anticipated lifespan is around 30 years.
Option three, the 50-Metre New-Build, could also be constructed alongside the current facility, so that the pools could remain open throughout.
A feature of the 50m build is its moveable bulkhead that can divide the pool in two. It also offers three new pools - a new 50m x 21m pool, a 20m x 8m learners' pool, as well as a 15m x 8m programme pool for classes such as aqua fitness.
There would be a water play area containing a bomb pool, lazy river and hydroslides, and a new gym and health and wellness centre. The cost is $38m and the lifespan is around 30 years.
Council director community services Antoinette Campbell said she was looking forward to hearing what Napier's residents wanted from their pools now and into the future.
"Whatever complex is chosen and subsequently developed, this is a facility that will serve our kids as they grow into adults, and our adults as they move into retirement.
"For that reason, it's really important that we consider current and future needs when making this decision. We should reflect on the impact of population growth, tourism, and sporting and recreational trends."
Napier Mayor Bill Dalton urged the community to get involved in the decision-making process - the council has also released a feedback form and marketing campaign aimed at actively involving its community in the decision-making process.
"We want to make this decision armed with as much information as possible," he said.
"We understand the limitations of our current set-up and we are poised to make some great changes, but there are various price-tags to take into account to achieve the facility our community wants."
The council would also be holding a Spring Open Day at the centre on Father's Day, Sunday September 3. As well as more detail about the options, there would be food and music, the Aqua Run inflatable, a bouncy castle, and a competition for the best bomb.
-The Spring Open Day runs from 11am until 2pm. For more information go to www.facebook.com/napiercitycouncil. To give feedback go to www.napier.govt.nz/say-it.
