Swimming Pools
There's nothing like a cool dip or a fun splash in a swimming pool.
If you are looking for exercise or recreation, the Dave Hume Swimming Pools in Katikati and Te Puke Memorial Swimming Pool can cater for you.
Dave Hume Swimming Pool
The Dave Hume Pool caters for general public swimming, swimming by various local schools, swimming lessons and coaching by independent coaches, the Katikati Amateur Swim Club and Katikati Masters.
We're currently reconfiguring the pool and making other improvements to increase learn to swim opportunities, improve accessibility and enable the pools to run for an extended season, from September through to the end of May each year.
You can find out more about the project here.
For further information, including opening hours, swimming programmes, and admission prices, please visit the Dave Hume Pool website.
Te Puke Memorial Pool
The Te Puke Memorial pool is located at Te Puke High School on the corner of Tui Street and Beatty Avenue, accessible through the pool entrance on Tui Street.
The pool swim season is from late spring to early Autumn, coinciding with the beginning of school term 4 and the end of school term 1 (Easter) of any given year. The pool is not open over the cooler months.
This facility includes:
- a main pool (33 metres long and 7 swim lanes)
- a dive pool (4 metres deep); and
- a learner/toddlers pool.
- the pool is mildly geothermally heated to about 26 degrees, give or take, depending on ambient conditions.

Water Safety
Water Safety New Zealand's under-fives water safety ambassador Ameliaranne Ekenasio features in a campaign of three videos to emphasise the message that constant supervision saves lives of our tamariki.
The videos are designed to remind parents and guardians that accidents can happen in seconds and to encourage people to hop in the water and have fun with their kids when they're at the pool.
