Pool updates - June 2024
Cromwell Pool update - 14 June 2024
A filter replacement is set to commence 24 June 2024 and is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete. During this period, the 25m pool and spa pool will be closed for up to 10 days. Work will be carried out on the pools separately so two pools will be available for users though the upgrade.
The lap pool and spa pools will be closed for one week of the school holidays between 6-14 July, however the therapeutic pool will remain open. Swimming lessons in the lap pool for Term 2 will be shortened by two weeks. Please note that this adjustment has already been reflected in the fees.

CROMWELL POOL UPDATE - Friday 31 May 2024 - 1.45pm
Following a medical event at the Cromwell pool earlier today, the pool will remain closed for the rest of day.
Staff responded to the incident, which involved a member of the public, Central Otago District Council Group Manager – Community Experience David Scoones said.
“The closure of the Cromwell Pool for the rest of today will allow our staff who were involved in the response some time to recover from a stressful event.”
This has affected the staffing level at both Council pools. As a result, the opening of the Alexandra and Cromwell pools will be alternated; the Alexandra Pool will be closed tomorrow (Saturday 1 June 2024) and the Cromwell Pool will re-open.
“We thank and appreciate the community for their understanding during this time,” Mr Scoones said.

UPDATES - Monday 13 May:
Last week, some of you might have experienced a bit of a temperature rollercoaster during your showers at Alexanda Pool. We want to let you know that this was due to a faulty thermostat and tempering valve that was playing tricks on us, giving us all a surprise cold adventure!
The faulty parts have been replaced with new ones. Your showers should now be just the right temperature.
