Tepid Baths

This is a wonderful pool with a historic outer building outside and a modern swimming facility inside. It has great water quality, wide lanes, and friendly staff and swimmers. It's a short walk from most downtown Auckland hotels. It was uncrowded at 7:00 AM on a Saturday.

Clean water. Good temperature. Masters early weekdays. Wide open on Sunday AM. Very wide lanes. Of course, excellent lane etiquette, as well as staff friendliness. A bit more chlorine than I am used to, but fine over all. Good locker room. No Suitmate®, at least for men.

I swam here at lunch time. It's a great venue, built in the early 1900's, but recently modernised. The pool lanes were arranged according to swim speeds from slow to fast. They have disposable towels you can purchase for $5.00, which was good, as I was at a hotel and did not have a towel with me.

Have been to NZ on holiday and during our time in Auckland this was the nearest pool. It’s an iconic building in an area that is rapidly changing. Excellent water quality and great for laps on Saturday, but quite crowded on the Monday morning with swimming clubs seeming to take over most of the pool. I also bought a hat which the pool publicity leaflet said I needed - but I was the only one wearing one. Anyway a nice souvenir and a bit of a pose at the local baths in England. I really enjoyed both swims; the temperature and water quality were excellent. As ever in NZ lovely staff...
