Whangarei Aquatic Centre

Went into the pools cafe for some food, after sitting for literally one minute, the lady on shift told me and my 3 friends to leave as “obviously we aren’t going to order anything” I understand that it’s annoying when groups of people come in but we had only sat down for a minute and were clearly deliberating on what we wanted to eat! It was so shocking as I have been there before with my white family and have not had this treatment, will not be back! Very disappointed!

Place is tired and in need of a do-up. Broken windows are never a good look. Would like to see playground in backyard and more toys available to hire

Water temp was nice and all pools and lanes available to swim. Before 9am it was nice and quiet

Poor/rude receptionist, 2 ladies infront just having idle chat when there are customers waiting in line, grumpy assisting customers, making people using the service very unpleaseant. Will never come back again.

Pretty big place! Lots of swimming to be done here they even have a gym and a sauna!The baby pools are very cute and nice and warm inside. Plenty of parking but a little tight!

2023The online competition pool schedule used to be really well maintained - you could easily see when the pool was free for lap swimming. These days it's not at all indicative of what's actually happening in the pool or how many lanes are free for use e.g. Sun 22/04/23 shows the pool as free, when in fact it's closed for a carnival & Anzac Day shows as being open all day. This tool is really helpful for customers when it's being well maintained. Don't bother putting it online if it's not correct. Disappointing.2021Old but reasonably well maintained & clean facility, however front desk staff either not wearing their masks, or only covering their mouths.

Not so busy this morning which was great. Sometime you gotta wait for free lane, staff as usual top notch

The only pool open was the big swimming pool. The water quality was not that good. The showers are only made for small people. There could be more sinks. There are no lockers. The whirlpool closes 1 hour early which does not make any sense. The NZ swimming centers quality is way too low even in Thailand they have lockers... No comparison to European Standards...

A great asset for Whangarei. The entrance price is reasonable and it’s a well maintained facility with friendly staff. I recommend it.
