Mt Albert Aquatic Centre

About

Mt Albert Aquatic Centre on Alberton Avenue splits neatly between lane swimming and the sort of pool small children refuse to leave. There is a heated indoor twenty-five metre competition pool, a learn to swim pool, a toddlers' pool at thirty degrees and a leisure pool with a wave feature, plus a water play area. A hydroslide runs alongside them. There are two spas, one at thirty-nine degrees for adults and a cooler family spa, along with a sauna and a steam room. It is operated by CLM for Auckland Council, with Swim Magic lessons and aqua aerobics running through the week. Between the lane pool and the wave feature it covers both ends of a family swim, which is not true of every centre this size.
