Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the pool here, much better than Johnsonville. 7 lanes is generous and the showers get nice and hot. Spa seats four people. Pool isn't deep easy to touch the bottom so great for learning to swim.

Playgrounds of Porirua 2 years ago

Positive experience: Tawa pool is a great spot for tots, and parents who don't like to get wet. The toddler pool gradually slopes to about knee high on a parent, which means you can closely supervise without getting your togs out. The toddler pool is separated from the learner and lane pools by a gated fence. The learner pool is nice and warm. The lane pool is cooler and deeper. Friendly staff, family change rooms and generous sized change cubicles. The only thing missing is coffee!

Negative experience: Been 3 times over past 2 years. My kids have to use toddler pool and always some other kid ruins it by pooing in pool. Making our time limited and waste of money. Not a nice experience. Dont have this issue at other pools.

Raymond Moorhead 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always fun, well presented & maintained. Usually parking within 15m of front door even on a rainy day, can be further in summer. Kiddy pool well thought out with family changing room beside. Medium pool ~80cm, great for learners, often has blowup slide in it. Big pool as you'd expect for lane swimming (designated fast,med,slow lanes) other half of pool open for family fun. There's a spa pool for those that need the heat, but need buy the wrist band to indulge, well worth it ! Always good teenage life guards on duty, and at shop (googles, togs, caps, Toddler swim naps etc) Changing rooms a gem ! Facilaties allow for parties but need to book. All with the fee. Congratulations tawa . .

Michelle Savaii 5 years ago

Negative experience: Never impressed with the lifeguards here If I could video and show you I would. Standing around gossiping a line away from the kids who may need their help. As expected yes parents should watch their kids and we do but.doesnt mean they should be slacking off. Just a typical visit to Tawa pools.

Rosie White 5 years ago

Positive experience: The toddler pool is a great place for little ones to enjoy the water. Although could do with being made bigger. Changing rooms and toilets were clean and tidy.

Bianca Jensen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this pool, staff are really friendly and it’s good for lane swimming. Also very close to tawa station so convenient. No sauna but there is a spa pool, kids swimming pools and lane swimming. I’d advise to look at the timetable before coming in since it’s closed to the public for club nights on Monday and Thursday evening for several hours.

Psyckers DO 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great little pool for all the family. Particularly good area for toddlers, I certainly appreciate the table area for the family to organise lunch while our little man investigated the big plastic ducks and water Jets. The larger pool is a great size to have fun, even with large inflatable toys in the pool. Changing areas are spacious, clean and great layout. Particularly liked the baby change area in the men's changing area. Staff are great and helpful and always have a watchful eye on the happy children in the pool.
