Five benefits of swimming:

😴 It can help you sleep better
🧘‍♀️ It's a sneaky stress reliever
🦵 It's gentle on your joints
💪 It builds endurance
🥵 You don't get hot and sweaty cos you're in the ✨pool✨

We’re building six new individual changing rooms and three new toilets at the south-east end of our building 🛠

The new private cubicles will give customers more choice and help ensure our family and accessible changing rooms are available more often.

The project is scheduled to begin next Monday (24 August) and we expect it to take about six months.

Construction won’t affect the current changing rooms, but there may be some noise and disruption around the existing change rooms and poolside entry while work is underway.

Pedestrian access along the main driveway will be limited during construction. Please use the path along the north side of the facility if you are on foot.

Vehicle traffic in and out of the car park may also be affected at times, including the drop-off spaces at the front of the building.

We’ll have signs in place to help you get around safely once construction begins, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to showing you the new changing rooms when they’re finished!

We’ve got a busy Sunday ahead at Splash Palace, with a Southland Short Course swim meet in the pool and the Southland Stags taking on Waikato nearby.

🏊 Pool access: The deep end of the main pool will be unavailable from 8.30am–4pm on Sunday 16 August. The rest of the facility will be open as normal.

🚗 Getting here: Traffic management will be in place around Elles Road before and after the 2.05pm Stags game, including partial lane closures and turn restrictions.

Access to the Splash Palace car park will remain open, with traffic marshals helping vehicles through. Please allow a little extra time when arriving or leaving and follow the directions of the traffic management team.

Good luck to everyone competing in the swim meet, and go the Stags!

We were proud to host community health clinics at Splash Palace recently, helping make health and wellbeing support more accessible in a familiar local space.

It was great to see our community get behind the initiative while giving Year 2 Southern Institute of Technology nursing ākonga (student) valuable hands-on experience. A fantastic local partnership with benefits for everyone involved!
