Whangamata Swimming Pool

The Whangamata Community Pool provides a heated swimming facility for locals and visitors. It is a popular option for families, lap swimmers and those who prefer pool swimming to the ocean surf. The pool is centrally located and easy to find within the town.

Pool Facilities

The complex features a heated outdoor pool suitable for lap swimming and recreational use. Changing rooms, showers and toilet facilities are available on-site. The pool area is fenced and supervised during opening hours.

Opening Hours

The Whangamata pool operates seasonally, with extended hours during the summer months and limited or closed periods during winter. Check with the Thames-Coromandel District Council for current opening times and any scheduled maintenance closures.

During summer the pool is typically open daily, with specific times set aside for lap swimming, general swimming and learn-to-swim programmes. School holiday periods see the busiest usage.

Programmes

The pool offers learn-to-swim lessons for children during the summer season. These are hugely popular with both local families and holidaymakers. Bookings open before the summer season begins and places fill quickly.

Entry Fees

Entry fees are affordable, with discounted rates for children, families and seniors. Season passes are also available for regular swimmers. Check with the facility or the Thames-Coromandel District Council website for current pricing.
