Built in 1914 and listed as a Category 2 historic place, the Tepid Baths at 100 Customs Street West in Auckland's CBD began as saltwater pools. Locals call it "The Teps".
The centre has two pools, a spa, steam and sauna facilities, and a fitness centre. Swim lessons are offered for all ages and abilities. A water wheelchair and a pool hoist are available for swimmers with accessibility needs, and there is ramp access to the pool. Aucklanders aged 16 and under have free access to council pools. A membership promotion of $9.95 per week for the first 12 weeks, with no joining fee, is on offer as at 2026. Swim squads train at the centre, and a physiotherapy clinic operates from it.
