Welcome to your local spot for family fitness and fun!
You’ll love our heated swimming pools that give you the chance to make a splash all year round, and our poolside cardio room that lets you work out in style. There's a super-fun toddlers' splash pool for the little ones, and during summer you can cool down or get in some serious training in our 50m outdoor pool.
We love serving our diverse, multi-cultural community. It's free for all ages to swim in the pools at Papatoetoe Centennial, and we host ladies' nights and seasonal pool party events.
The Papatoetoe Centennial team is passionate about helping you get active your way. We welcome your enquiries! You can use the contact us form or, even better, come and visit us and let us show you around our fab facility.
Did you know we run Ladies' Night every Friday?
Ladies-only Night provides a place where you can feel comfortable and relaxed while enjoying a healthy and fun activity. It also provides a great chance to get together and bond through exercise with our Aqua Zumba class or you have the option to relax in the Spa/Sauna.
Children can accompany you if they are 4 years and under but pool, spa and sauna rules apply.

Group fitness classes
Group fitness classes get you off the couch and interacting with our community. They also harness the group's energy to create a motivating, challenging, and totally addictive workout experience.
They're a great way to change things up and make the most of your workout!
Play your role
Keep everyone safe and healthy with good hygiene practice - here are a few friendly reminders of the basics:
- Bring your water bottle and towel - No towel = No workout!
- Bring your mat to any floor-based classes (e.g. yoga, etc.)
- Cover your coughs and sneezes (into your elbow or with tissues and dispose of these into the bin immediately)
- Wash your hands frequently
- Wipe equipment you have used - while our staff clean regularly, we need your help too (we have wipes and spray for you to use)
- Shower before you swim or jump into an aqua class (helps us keep our pools clean)
- And, stay home if you are unwell - play it safe!
