At Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Pool and Leisure Centre you'll find a huge pool complex and much more! It's truly a multi-facility, with a fitness centre, stadium, eight pools, bookable spaces and a love of its community to boot.
Have fun, get active, be social or even just relax — the spa and saunas are perfect for relaxing weary muscles!
The Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa team are committed to — and inspired about — helping our community and members get active their way. Send us your enquiries via the contact us form or, even better, come and visit us and let us show you around our fantastic facility.
Special things about our pools
- Swimming in the pools at Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa is free for all ages.
- We have a unique, dedicated bombing pool which is one of five outdoor pools that are open all summer. Oh, and a hydroslide!
- Our splash pad is for all ages, and the swimwear requirement is relaxed as it's not an actual pool.
- To keep you sun safe we have rash tops for hire. Sizes go up to 9XL, so swimwear is not a barrier!
- For the upcoming summer season (but only through booking) we'll have a new electrical barbecue area with shade and tables. Can't book? Don't worry, you can still picnic on the grass by the pools.
Please note that there is no disabled access to the indoor splash pool nor the outdoor pools.

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.
Swimming lessons and water safety for schools
We’re experienced and skilled at working with schools, tailoring programmes to schools’ needs and the age and stage of their students:
- swimming lessons
- lifejacket usage
- deep water confidence
- boating experiences.
Lessons can take place in our facilities, or our instructors can come to you if your school has its own pool.
Auckland Council Pools and Leisure is a partner in the Greater Auckland Aquatic Action Plan (GAAAP) programme of funded school swimming lessons.

Group fitness classes
The wait is almost over! Our group fitness studio doors are re-opening Wednesday 3 June.
Here is our new timetable - as we move into the new norm, there’s a few things that you need to know:
- You need to book into classes you want to attend
- You can book in up to five days in advance for your favourite class/es
- All classes are at a reduced capacity to allow for physical distancing - there will be markers on the floor in the studio where you need to position yourself
- You’ll need to bring a filled drink bottle and sweat towel. No sweat towel = no workout!

To book into a class, give us a call on 09 261 8040, email us at mangerepools@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or pop in and book in person. Bookings close at 3pm the day of the class, so get in quick! We can't wait to see you again soon!

Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles to hit a hollow plastic ball with holes in it (also known as a wiffle ball) over a net. It's played on a badminton doubles-sized court with the net slightly lower than a tennis net.
Pickleball is great for those who may be finding the tennis court a bit too big or the badminton shuttle a little too high, for people recovering from injuries, and as a family game for players of different ages, heights and abilities.
