Cameron Pool and Leisure Centre is a public swimming pool at 53 Arundel Street in Mount Roskill, Auckland, holding a 4.0 Google rating.
Anyone new to public pools soon learns that the session timetable is everything. At most pools, lane swimming, learn-to-swim lessons, school groups and aqua classes all share the same water, so a quiet weekday morning can feel like a different pool to a Saturday afternoon. Regulars check the schedule before they travel and swim off-peak where they can. The main pool is usually kept a little cooler for fitness swimming, with warmer, shallower water for children and beginners, though arrangements differ from centre to centre. School holidays are when the water fills up fastest, and term-time mornings are the calmest of all.
For Mount Roskill locals, a public pool on Arundel Street puts a proper swim within easy reach of the neighbourhood.
