Dear Customers

We have urgent maintenance at Kaiapoi Pool scheduled to go ahead on Thursday October the 3rd on the heating and ventilation system.

While this work is occurring there will be no air circulation or heating for a period, so we will be closing the facility for most of the day to manage the environment.

The facility will be open from 6am to 9am, but will be closed for the rest of the day.

Alternatively Dudley Park Aquatic Centre will still be operating as per normal, 6am to 9pm with space for recreation and lane swimming and all scheduled programmes running as per normal including AQUA at 9am 12noon & 7pm.

Thanks for your understanding & we will see you back at Kaiapoi pool soon.

Regards Matt Austin
