“The good news is that it’s open now, and you’re invited to use it for free on March 11 - 12.”
The management team has been working hard behind the scenes to get the pool sorted for swimmers to safely use. The team has completed some big maintenance tasks, including a much-needed pool re-paint. The team had to wait for the perfect weather window — not too cold and no rain for seven days — and that took time, but was really important for getting a quality paint job that lasts.
“Mother Nature put our best-laid plans to waste, and we struggled to get the stretch of fine weather we needed,” says Janine.
The main and toddler pools now have a fresh coat of paint, and the geothermal bore system has had repairs and a new heat exchanger installed.
The pool is next to Te Puke High School on the corner of Tui St and Beatty Ave.
Facilities include:
- A main pool (33 metres long, with seven swim lanes)
- A dive pool (4m deep)
- A learner/toddlers pool.
The pool is mildly geothermally heated to about 26 degrees, depending on ambient conditions.
