Te Huruhi Community Pool is a heated community pool at 20 Donald Bruce Road in Surfdale, on Waiheke Island. Community swimming runs seven days a week from 12.30 to 3.30pm, and the pool is open for families to bring pool toys and spend the afternoon. Between those times, the pool is used for scheduled classes and lessons, so no other swimmers are allowed in then. It is also available to hire as a private venue for birthdays, special occasions or group get-togethers, with a qualified lifeguard on duty during that time. A season pass covers the whole summer, and a whanau pass lets one family of up to five people swim together at community times.
The pool is run by the Waiheke Pool Society, and its goal is a year-round indoor swimming facility for the island. Until then, the outdoor pool is the main option, so the timetable depends on the weather and on lifeguard availability. Check the pool's Facebook page before you go, because the schedule changes at short notice. Children under five must be within reach of an adult at all times, including in the water. Children aged five to ten need an adult over 17 supervising them. Diving is not allowed, and food and drink stay out of the pool.
