Takapuna Pool and Leisure Centre

The staff are friendly, the lifeguards are professional. 5 star for the lifeguards. The facility however is in need of an upgrade, pretty much no gym, no indoor hot pool and the sauna is not hot at all. Facility needs an upgrade.

I take my 3 year old here for swimming lessons, and they are absolutely amazing! Her instructor Sara is the best! She’s a great teacher, and runs really great quality and fun lessons that my daughter loves. She’s also progressing really well in her swimming, it amazing to watch! The ratio is 1 teacher to 3 kids, which is much better, and cheaper than a lot of the more costly private lessons. I can even swim with my 1 year old in the other half of the pool while my 3 year old has her lesson. Highly recommend!

I am writing this email to claim about your safeguard Ave at Takapuna centre.Today, my son had visited your Takapuna centre to swim.From the beginning, we did not receive any notice about the closing kids pool today.So, my son should have swim at Fun lane. (His is 120cm tall, and he knows how to keep his safety in this lane).Also him even wore a tube on his belly for safety and swam in that lane.All of sudden, one of your safeguard called Ave, came to us and start talking about the safety.He said my son looked not safe because he kept putting his head into the water.How come we can swim without putting head into the water? Can you explain this?Even there was another boy who kept trying to dive into the water and he didn't point out that thing. He looked more not safe than our boy.And he, Ave literally kicked us out.Ave, he did not give us any warning or instruction before he had done that to us.How come it is possible?We have been using this centre more than two years and my son also is taking a swimming class on Thursday .Recently, your swimming class also has been cancelled all of sudden just like before two hours ago for two weeks.That was horrible experience to us and your centre is making us disappointed.We are very disappointed to this happen and Ethan got upset as well.We want to get his apology .

Mixed feelings with this place, the pool and leisure activities itself was good. However, there was a time when my sister asked to borrow goggles from the customer service desk and they said no but I recalled them saying yes to another person who is in fact white. We were wondering if she is being treated differently because she is Asian or the person working at the time was just rude!

The Large pool is too cold! My child is shivering after their half hour swimming lesson. Warm water is then wasted in the shower, as it's a battle getting them out as they are wanting to spend longer in the shower to warm up.

Decent pool, main pool is a little bit cold but good if you are a swimmer.

Was quite apprehensive to try out the pool as reviews were so negative. Braced myself for the worst but actually staff at front desk were efficient and polite, the swimming pool was clean and certainly not cold as others have suggested. Same for changing rooms, clean and tidy. This is obviously a public space so does not compare to more luxurious and private versions, but was enjoyable enough that I will return there, hopefully frequently

I’ve been coming for the last month. Between 3 and 4 is always quite quiet. Nice pool

It's 8 dollars per person, and there's NO spa. The gym is not included, and if you wanna use the gym, there would be an extra charge. Get's too busy over the weekends.

Used to be a good place to do lane swimming, unfortunately since the beginning of 2023, they started closing three lanes for swimming lessons. That effectively leaves only one lane for doing laps (the other lane is a slow lane and is used by people that can hardly swim).It's a real shame they are neglecting their regular swimmers like that. We pay full price subscription but can rarely use the pool for swimming when coming after work.
