One week ago, Kaiya made a pretty wild suggestion… “Let’s do a triathlon.” even more wildly Steph & Taylor agreed and we were all signed up 🏊🚴🏃

The catch?
None of them had bikes ready to ride.
None of them had helmets.
None of them had trained for it.

So over the week they scrambled to find the gear, squeezed in a couple of bike rides, showed up on race day and gave it everything they had 💪🏽

500m swim ✅
20km bike ride ✅
5km run ✅

And on Sunday — they all crossed that finish line smiling.

This is what IRONMĀORI is all about. Not being the fastest. Not being the most prepared. Just having the courage to say “why not?” and backing yourself enough to give it a go.

We’re seriously proud of these three legends for stepping outside their comfort zone, taking on the challenge and proving that sometimes the hardest part is simply showing up.

Safe to say… this probably won’t be their last triathlon 💙

After a bit of anticipation and a minor delay, we’re excited to share that we are almost ready to start pouring the concrete base for the splash pad!

We’ve also completed the grouting work in the learner pool, which is another big milestone ticked off the list - we do have one more maintenance item planned for this pool during the closure ⚡️

The final steps now include:
• Concreting then the flooring
• Installation of the “brains” to run the show
• Installation of the splash pad features (which safely arrived on NZ turf a couple of weeks ago) 🚢

We are getting so close now, and we’re still on track for a June opening day📆

We can’t wait to share the finished result with everyone! 💦

Next month, Steph will be taking part in The Big Swim 2026 to help raise funds for Coastguard New Zealand and support the lifesaving work they do on our waters every day.

At Wai Splash, water safety education is something we are incredibly passionate about. We work hard to teach our community the skills and knowledge needed to stay safe in and around the water. However, despite the best preparation, emergencies can still happen on boats, jet skis, and other watercrafts — and that’s when Coastguard becomes essential.

During the month we’re fundraising to help ensure Coastguard can continue responding when people need them most.

To support this cause, Steph has committed to swimming 30km in the hopes to raise $2,000. If you’re able to, we’d really appreciate your support.

As a thank you for your support, anyone who makes a donation of $100 or more will receive FREE 1 Month Swim Membership for use at Wai Splash between 10am-3pm throughout June.

So if you’d like to support an amazing cause while enjoying some free swims this winter, make your donation today to make the most of it!
