Good pools with different depth choice for the kids. The water slide, wave pool and fountains etc are not always in action so ring ahead to find out if everything is working. It can become crowded at times as well.

The variety of pools at the centre seems like a good thing for the community. However, on our first ever visit this week we left feeling a little concerned about the cleanliness of both the facilities and the water. We’ve swum in a lot of pools internationally over the years and you come to recognise the signs of a pool which hasn’t had a water change in a considerable time. Whangarei Aquatic Centre falls into this category - with the chlorination struggling to mask the odour of years of bacteria build up. The smell is particularly noticeable an hour or so after your swim and is reminiscent of treated sewerage on your skin. The pools need a water change and full filter clean desperately. Unfortunately it’s an expensive proceedure, but we believe it’s way over due. If you do visit before they have conducted a water change, be sure to drink a load of coke after your visit - it is excellent at killing the bacteria that thrives in aquatic environments!

Not very impressed. Expensive to take a toddler swimming, the facilities are old and kind of confusing to get around. However my biggest concern was the safety. Very few caregivers are in the water with their children and there is few lifeguards. When I was there I saw 3, one looking after the bouncy castle. And two chatting and not watching any of the wave pool, spa or toddler area. If there was a problem in the toddler pool I would imagine the lifeguards wouldn’t even see as they are stationed so far away (as well as just chatting and not actually watching). With a pool safety should be number 1 priority. Caregivers should be swimming with their kids if they are under 5 not on their phones at the side of the pool and lifeguards should be actively on duty stationed evenly around the area.

Last time we went for a swim both the toddler pool and the slides were closed. So i had to drag 3 disappointed kids home. 2 weeks later Icalled ahead and was told, yes, everything is open. I get there 60min later and both the slide and toddler pool are closed! And then she seriously is trying to tell me it both broke JUST after my call. You cant be serious. Really?? Lying in my face.
