Kiwa Pools is a multi-purpose public swimming facility on Centennial Marine Drive, right opposite Midway Beach. Whether you're diving in for fitness, floating with the whānau or learning your first strokes, there’s something for everyone.
Inside you'll find temperature-controlled pools including a 50-metre multi-purpose pool, hydrotherapy and learn-to-swim pools, a leisure pool, splash pad and heated toddler's pool.
