Gallagher Aquatic Centre - Reopening early, 6am, Monday 7 September

Thanks for your patience while we've been closed for the planned maintenance.

Some work, including the pool liner replacement, will now happen after summer because groundwater levels are currently too high to safely empty the pools.

All Learn to Swim lessons and Aqua Classes return to Gallagher from Monday.

We look forward to seeing you back at the pool.

Spring clean your swimwear drawer!

Has your child outgrown their togs? Don't let them sit unused.

This spring, help us make swimming more accessible by donating any pre-loved swimwear that's still in good condition to our Togs to Schools collection box at Waterworld Pools.

Your donation will be passed on to local schools across the Waikato, helping more tamariki participate in swimming and water safety activities.

Every pair of togs can make a difference
