Auckland Council’s brand new state-of-the-art Albany Stadium Pool officially opens to the public on 28 January.
All tickets for the free swim sessions this weekend have been allocated; however, there will be some capacity to invite people in that don’t have an opening day ticket.
There will also be site tours, opening specials on memberships and plenty of fun family activities to keep everyone entertained.
The centre will be open on Auckland Anniversary Day, with standard opening hours from Tuesday 31 January.
With all the water near Albany, teaching children – and adults – to swim is important.
The centre’s dedicated learn to swim pool is 20m long and has seven lanes, so swimmers of all abilities can have classes together.
The zero depth splash pad area provides toddlers with their first aquatic experience with exciting splash and spray water toys, while the shallow kids’ pool includes a slide and an array of water features for young ones to develop confidence in the water.
For the more confident kids and adults the leisure pool offers a variety of water activities, semi-submerged lily pads to run across and an over-the-pool rock-climbing wall.
The facility also has a large adult spa and sauna, fully equipped fitness centre and a group exercise studio offering holistic fitness classes.
With a focus on fun and recreation, Albany Stadium Pool has something for everyone.
