Positive experience: I was visiting Christchurch and found this place when looking for a pool that offered lap swimming. This was probably the noisiest pool I’ve ever been to (there were probably over a hundred elementary age school kids each time I visited), but AquaGym did a great job of keeping the younger kids in a smaller pool, the older kids/teens in a separate section, and the lap swimmers in their own area. I visited in the mornings between 9-12, and the lap swimming lanes were pretty empty and I always had a lane to myself. The pool itself was very clean, the water temperature was great for lap swimming, and the staff were very friendly. Day pass for lap swimming cost $10 NZD. Docking one star bc the locker rooms were crazy crowded with little kids (they really should have a separate locker room with showers/changing area for adults and kids) and they didn’t have any lockers where you could securely store your things (they had open cubbies by the pool). Overall, very pleased with this pool and highly recommend for anyone looking for a good place to go lap swimming.

Positive experience: For a $10 entry fee it is quite a poor service for adult lane swimming. There were no showers in one of the changing rooms and the other one had just two with no hooks for a towel

Lou McLeod 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Their learn to swim programme runs like a well oiled machine. I love the pay by the month system, rather than by the term. It meant that my child could move up a class when the instructors thought he was ready, rather than waiting until the end of the term. Great instructors and there are people always watching the children's progress.
