During the school holidays the main pool is open
for general public swimming during daylight hours
(8pm latest). The small pool is open from 10am until 5pm daily
(from Oct to April). After two successful terms 2009 Term 4 and 2010
Term 1 running outdoors, Fools Pools Swim School re-opened in July 2010
with the main pool under cover inside a state of the art, European designed
enclosure. The enclosure is fully
insulated, as well as being fully retractable, allowing the pool to be either
indoor or outdoor depending on the season.
These types of enclosures are used in Europe in snow conditions, so
are more than adequate for NZ conditions!
Fools Pools Swim School is a registered Quality
Swim School with Swimming NZ. All our
teachers go through training with Swimming NZ or a similar education
provider, as well as induction training at Fools Pools. We aim to provide a swimming environment
that is both supportive and encouraging for our students, where achievable
challenges are set so that students gain a real sense of achievement from
their efforts. Our mission is to
continue to raise the level of swimming competency in the Muriwai community
and surrounding areas. We encourage you to use this facility, and to
respect it! We believe that everyone
has the right to learn to swim and to enjoy the water. Use it for your own fitness, strength and rehabilitation programs. Come to swimming
lessons here if you would like to learn to swim or to increase your skill in
the water, or just enjoy the pools for your own peace of mind and
wellbeing. This facility is also an
ACC registered vendor for hydro-therapy (water
rehabilitation programs), so get a referral from your doctor or
physiotherapist if you require water rehabilitation services covered by
ACC. Since
Oct 2014 we have been running our main pool using Enviroswim
technology. Its really like swimming
in pure tap water fantastic for your health, swimming togs last longer, and
it feels amazing! It provides the best user experience and is a
healthy, clean and pure way to bathe and relax.
Opposed to traditional chlorine pools it does not attack the skin, worsen
allergies, cause asthma or rot pool clothing, and it is also gentler on the pool's shell and surrounding landscape. It also
ticks all the environmental boxes by reducing chemical usage, consuming less power and enabling the recycling of pool water and
backwash without dilution. More
