Albany Stadium Pool is designed for family fun and education. Although there is a lap swimming pool (20m) its priority first and foremost is for leisure and learning to swim.

Opened 28 January 2017 our exciting new leisure pool is full of fantastic interactive water features such as the over-the-pool climbing wall and splash pad! A great destination for families who want to have fun in the water, there’s inflatables and water cannons for people of all ages. Want to relax? We have a huge adult spa and sauna. In the mood to get active, we have a state-of-the-art fitness centre and small holistic group fitness classes.

Accessibility: We welcome everyone regardless of ability. Some pools have ramp entry and we have a disability hoist and water wheelchair onsite for access assistance into the spa and Leisure pool. There is also disabled access to the fitness centre via the lift.

Please note that hours may change due to staff availability. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website alerts for any changes or give us a call before your visit.

Fantastic experience: My favourite leisure centre by far - the gym has all you need, plus having the sauna and pool for recovery is ideal. Special mention to Alex up in the gym - super welcoming guy with buckets of knowledge, charisma, and a friendly demeanour to boot!

Cushla Alvey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Front desk super friendly and all staff at the pools and gym also. Great vibes. Pool is always clean and the changing rooms also. Spa and sauna gets full quickly in the evenings. No private showers but individual changing rooms with different sizes including Heaps of baby changing stations and disabled. There's a shop if you need anything and I havnt tried the Cafe.

Courtnee Who 1 year ago

Positive experience: Love this place, had a great pool area for my 2 year old. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars because they had no private showers, but they do have open showers.. and that the changing rooms were a bit grubby.

Lee van der Vyver 1 year ago

Positive experience: Excellent large spa and sauna. Change rooms weren't the cleanest, but to be fair, most of it was water.

Emma Davies 1 year ago

Negative experience: Attended swim school and children were refused class as they had no swimming caps. Unfortunately I didnt have a purse on me so I asked the girl if she would give us caps for class and I would pay the following week, I was informed no. I asked if the classes would be reimbursed and was told no. I noticed a child without a cap another class, the same staff member who refused class was grading 2 children who also werent wearing caps...kind of contradictory. If you want to talk about 'hygiene' let's talk about the disgusting state of the changing rooms, where the family room bins are overflowed with dirty nappies and rubbish and how many "code browns" did Albany have in 2023? After being informed no further charges would be taken out of my account they proceeed to take money out that day!

Codi Griesel 1 year ago

Negative experience: So today I realised my account has still been paying for my membership for the last 3 weeks even though the gym has been closed for this period. But apparently in the email they sent me I had to opt out of the payments because I could always drive 30min to another centre to go for a swim. They will not give me a refund. What good customer service Have cancelled my membership now

Negative experience: Because of the only lift is still out of order, Including today there already were four time s in a row that my client on wheelchair was unable to go to level 1 gym since early December. I thought this is a shame on disable friendly New Zealand.

Martin Moeller 4 years ago

Negative experience: Parts of pool (deep diving end as well as lane swimming) closed without any prior announcement. On top of that 30min. wait without any indication how long wait will be.

Amoré 4 years ago

Positive experience: Great swimming pools, fun for the kids, nice party area, and ample parking. I would prefer private shower areas though... pools close sometimes without prior notice. My son almost drowned once and the young life guards didn’t even notice, just standing around chatting and looking pretty so don’t really know what they’re there for? Otherwise not too bad, we still enjoy it and visit often.

Kathleen L 4 years ago

Negative experience: Unprofessional staff that stand around chatting and texting rather than keeping an eye on young swimmers. Receptionist had no clue where the gym classes were or how to book, and made no effort to find out as apparently this was a waste of their time.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean environment and most of all friendly staffs. They make exercise plan for you and review it when you want.

Simonne Macadam 6 years ago

Positive experience: Love this gym. It's a convenient location, always has parking and never gets too crowded. There is a large amount of cardio equipment and a decent amount of resistance equipment. However, would be great to see the range of resistance equipment expanded in the future as I have to be fairly creative to workout certain muscle groups.
