We have a range of options- a party area right next to the pool, a meeting room with tea/coffee facilities, or exclusive use of our Learn to Swim pool! Canoe Polo is a super competitive sport. Come on down on a Friday night during school terms from 6:00pm for a game. Inflatable Weekends - throughout the winter season the Makino puts an inflatable up on the water every weekend from 11.30am - 1.30pm, no extra charge for using the inflatables! We can cater to any groups needs, kayaking sessions, rafting, water safety, etc. Come on in and pay us a visit!

🌊✨ Matariki at Makino Aquatic Centre – Waitā ✨🌊

This week we acknowledge Waitā, the Matariki star connected to the ocean, tides, floodwaters, and the life that comes from the sea. 🐟⭐

While Makino Aquatic Centre is surrounded by freshwater pools, Waitā reminds us that all water is connected β€” from our pools and rivers through to the oceans of Aotearoa. πŸ’™

At Makino, we see the power of water every day. It helps people build confidence, stay active, learn lifesaving skills, and connect with others. Just like the ocean, water has the ability to bring people together and support wellbeing. 🌊

Waitā encourages us to care for our waters and marine environments through simple everyday actions such as:
πŸ’§ Conserving water
♻️ Reducing waste
🐠 Respecting ocean life and waterways

Together, we can help protect the waters that sustain our communities now and for future generations. ✨
