Albany Stadium Pool is our newest leisure centre — it's the place to be for fun, activity and recreation!
The leisure pool is perfect for families, with loads of interactive water features including an over-the-pool climbing wall, lily pads, and water cannons. Your little ones will love our dedicated junior area with slide and splash pad. There's also a huge spa and a sauna for the grownups, a programme pool used for Learn to Swim classes, and aqua group fitness classes.
Keen for something less wet? Get active your way in the state-of-the-art fitness centre or check out a group fitness class. We run small 'holistic' classes like yoga, Pilates and barre, as well as more traditional options.
Albany Stadium Pool has a swim shop and a cafe. For those with accessibility needs, a water wheelchair is available.
Our professional, friendly staff are super-motivated about helping you make the most of our centre and get active your way. We welcome your enquiries — you can use the contact us form or, even better, come and visit us and check out our shiny new facilities.
Parking
Our facility is situated in the grounds of North Harbour Stadium.
Auckland Stadiums give our customers their first two hours of parking free and any additional hours at $1 per hour.
To receive your two hours free, simply enter your licence plate number into the AT machine at reception or download the ‘AT Park’ app from the App Store or Google Play.
Parking during events at the stadium
When the stadium hosts events we block off our 68 designated customer parks. Additional parking can be found in nearby Hooten Reserve.
If roads are closed for an event, you can only access our car park from Don Mackinnon Drive.
We post information on our Facebook page prior to events to minimise any inconvenience caused to our members due to parking or access restrictions.

We offer:
- small class sizes
- free swimming before and after lessons
- discounts for families.

Why choose our Learn to Swim classes?
- We really care about teaching water safety. All our students are taught key water safety skills first, then progress to mastering swimming skills.
- All our instructors hold a New Zealand Certification in Aquatics and are AUSTSWIM qualified.
- As a community facility, we are more affordable than many private providers — and we never compromise on quality.
The Albany Stadium Pool facility accommodates family members of all ages. We have a warmer learn to swim pool of variable depth (0.8-1.5m) which caters for beginners right through to squad swimmers — and a bigger pool for after class fun!

Which class is right for me or my child?
We offer free assessments to determine yours or your child’s level.
School holiday learn to swim courses
Holiday swim courses run over five consecutive half days (four if there is a public holiday) from Monday to Friday. Courses may be in the morning or the afternoon. We take enrolments for complete courses only.
If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!
How to book a school holiday course
Contact us using the details on this page, or talk to the Learn to Swim team at the centre. A free assessment may be required to determine your child's level.

The discount applies to classes from Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm, and is valid for four consecutive enrolments. Little swimmers must be enrolled into Baby, Toddler or Preschooler lessons.
Send us a completed registration form and we'll be in touch with a time to assess your child (if we haven't prior) and enrol them in a suitable programme for their skill level.
