Amberley Swimming Pool
General Information
The Amberley Swimming Pool is a 25 yard, 5 lanes, solar heated, public swimming pool situated at the entrance of the Amberley Reserve, on Douglas Road.
Although the air and water are not heated, the pool roof is covered with a polyethylene twin skin cover over steel portal beams. Our location allows for users to utilise the wonderful reserve which is within walking distance of the pool, and the tennis courts which are next door to the pool. We are also within walking distance to the main north road where a number of eateries will tempt you before or after your visit to the pool.
Our pools provide a focus for families, schools, the community and wider district.

Quality Swim School

Swim for Life
 |
Swim for life is the first major learn-to-Swim initiative in New Zealand since the1950’s. Purpose: Every New Zealand child by the age of 12 will be able to swim 200m confidently and competently with associated survival skills and understand water safety messages. Amberley Swimming Pool has now registered our support of this programme and will promote Swim for Life within the community and district. |

Health and Safety
We strive to improve our services and ask that you view the health and safety section of our notice board which will give you an insight into how the council contributes to your health, safety and well-being at the pool and how you can assist us to maintain the levels we set.
