Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great staff and awesome pools the only negative I have is that the parking is so far away from the entrance, especially the disable park, there should be an entrance by the parking. Anyway, come and join in the awesome vibe you won't regret it
Fantastic experience: I go down there for my personal training sessions. The gym is small but replete with the latest cutting edge tech. The trainers are super friendly and really get behind their members and visitors keen to work on their health. A great assortment of cardio and weight gear for gym users and I believe they also offer a selection of classes which I hear are highly popular. I haven't been to the pool itself but it can be seen from the gym window. Everytime I've been, the pool has been pumping. A very popular place and all the patrons I've met to date are unpretentious good buggers. Definitely a place worth checking out.

Negative experience: Customer service is crap!

Positive experience: Lifeguards, staff — all friendly and helpful and, well, just super. However, the water in the lane pool seems quite murky on most days.
Positive experience: Great recreation hall, however not much room between courts but otherwise a good Hall
Positive experience: Facility is good, gym is small but enough for basic equipments. Pool is not too big but always busy
Fantastic experience: Nice place to have a quiet midweek swim or spa. Has a kids play area. No cafe though.
Fantastic experience: 2 basketball courts, a good pool and group fitness options. Next to northlands mall so very handy. Friendly staff, swim wear and water bottles for sale Fyi you cannot ring directly but have to go through the CCC call center which is very frustrating.

Positive experience: Really good pool for families lots of variety good space only issue was majority of lifeguards all very young and appearing very disinterested
Positive experience: Pretty clean, friendly staff, efficient and discrete handling of a toddler code brown today despite the Karen’s and Karen’s in training supervising. Good facilities.
Positive experience: It's alright, kinda an average pool, no cozy spinner, no extra amenities. Only 2 showers are in the girls changing room, which is quite inconvenient

Positive experience: Small and kids friendly pool with ample parking . They offer swim schools. Kids over the age of 3 can use their hot pool, where most other pools require to be age of 16 or over.
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you had a good time :) We hope to see you again soon!

Positive experience: Mostly works for me. Would really appreciate real time info regarding swim lanes open eg how many of each speed open for what hours. No cafe here
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, friendly staff,not a lot of room but kids did swimming lessons
Positive experience: I went for a swim and don't care if the the security guard at the door has a nice smile or if the lifeguards are friendly. Best of the CCC pools. It has a proper swiming pool and reasonable facilities.
Fantastic experience: After working a long day at the ladder shop, I decide to cool off at the Graham Condon swimming pool. I quickly pay the fee and enter the swimming pool. I feverishly rip off my shirt and pop a fat manu into the pool. Water sprays everywhere, including onto nearby kids who start crying. The cool refreshing water instantly cools me down from a long day of work. I start doggy paddling around the pool for fun. Suddenly, my arms and legs grow tired, and I start sinking towards the bottom of the swimming pool. Water starts rapidly entering my lungs, depriving me of oxygen. This is how it ends. I start to see my life flash before my eyes. Revisiting my times in the sweatshop in India, being a tunnel boi in Vietnam and committing arson to the cabbage tree. Everything starts going black. Out of nowhere, a strong muscular lifeguard swoops me out of the pool. I start regaining vision and realise how big of a dussy he has. Despite being straight, I brick up in front of the crowd of people gathering. It was very embarrassing ngl. Customer service was top notch. 420/69 will come back soon.
Positive experience: Really disappointed with the number of boys in the womens changing rooms lately, not toddlers, but school aged boys. There are family rooms, my daughter is of an age now when undresing with boys around is awkward
Hi Sally, thank you for your feedback. Please can you email us at [email protected] with some more details? Thanks, ^JJ
Negative experience: We have had or sport changed to this venue. as a result the numbers have dropped to about 30% of what we had when we played at Pioneer. This week we couldn't have the full gym as the roof was leaking. Then to make matters worse a siren started going off during our game. The staff seemed to not care at all about the siren.
Fantastic experience: Good swim staff were on the case watching the kids and were very friendly Met the most lovely security guard on the door it makes all the difference when the fist face U see is lovely and not intimidating. I hope he enjoys his trip to Invercargill and finds a good pub haha. Clean tidy pool with great facilities for those with impaired mobility! Well be back
Fantastic experience: Our family always have great time in this swimming pool. The supervisor of the pool is always nice and friendly. The girl worked on the night of 26th Oct is amazing and helpful. A “must go ”place for our family.
Fantastic experience: The gym has all of the equipment you’d need for most workouts and the fitness instructors and PT’s are very knowledgeable. The water quality in the pools is great and the facilities are generally very clean and tidy.
Negative experience: Very rude people when I attended a class there. It was the people in the class not the instructors, but when I complained to an instructor she said don't worry about it!!!! She had no idea what it was like but I feel it was a form of bullying!!!! Never mind I won't go back!!!!! Even a letter of complaint was completely ignored!!!!
Fantastic experience: Is very warm! The toddler pool is more like a cooler spa pool it is a decent depth at one end of parents to sit with shoulders under water comfortably but is a walk in type pool it's like beach styled goes from no water to about 1metre with no stairs or what have you but I wouldn't expect anything less that disability accessibility all round at this venue (Rest in Peace Graham Condon ❤)
Fantastic experience: Aqua jogging is my interest. Pool entry cost is $4.90 inclusive use of all pools including spa. Pool Guards on board all the time usually 2 to 3 at a time. First Aid office available. Baby pool and lessons too. Changing rooms for both genders with showers and toilets. Music. Possibility of new friends. I definitely recommend this place. Oh lockers available too.

Negative experience: The rims on the basketball court need to be replaced. I've had my finger ripped on because of this. Sort it out
Positive experience: Wish we can have some more parking spaces. Otherwise all well.
Fantastic experience: Not my local pool as it is closed only go for some lengths and sit in the spa . On the day the only down was the water level in the spa being low

Positive experience: Excellent pool centre, a wonderful start for toddlers also With entertaining water games.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff. Great swim.
Negative experience: Not impressed with the staff members at the front counter. Have given them the benefit of the doubt but now after the 3rd bad experience of ill mannered staff. My family will no longer go here. Really unimpressed!!!
Positive experience: Took my grandson to their gym area,for an hour. He is 4yrs old and was the oldest boy so he didnt get much out of it.
Positive experience: Good place to take the kids, often busy with swim schools etc, but relaxing place if you time it right
Negative experience: love the facility but a female staff is extremely bossy and not friendly at all. she shouldn't be working as a receptionist.
Fantastic experience: Go everyday to the gym and use the pool most weeks. Can't give enough stars. Absolutely amazing staff.. Definitely recommend them
Positive experience: Great facilities, like how the spa pool has ramp going down into it. Seating could be lower so you could soak up to your shoulders.
Positive experience: Pretty good spot. Reasonable staff. Good pricing. Spa is nice there too and good leisure space
Fantastic experience: I love this place for its convenient location it has all I need and it has excellent working hours. What bothers me is everyone walking around in shoes they wear outside, swimming caps are not a must as it should be for all and at many times lack of parking space by the pool.
Fantastic experience: We l9ve to swim in there swimming pool neat and tidy place at Graham Condon.
Fantastic experience: Kids love the pools. Although swimming lessons cut the pool in half then it becomes over crowded. But usually never any problems
