Coastlands Aquatic Centre

Coastlands Aquatic Centre is a stunning state-of-the-art facility, catering for all ages and aquatic abilities. Whether you're looking for exercise, recreation, swimming lessons or a nice cup of coffee, we have something for you. 

To view our services at each traffic light setting, see our COVID-19 updates.

Weekly lane schedule

  • Monday 16–Sunday 22 May [PDF 215 KB]
  • Monday 23–Sunday 29 May [PDF 215 KB]

Operating under the current traffic light system

From Monday 2 May, We’re progressively reinstating full operational weekday hours at our pools in Ōtaki and Paraparaumu. However, due to the impact of COVID-19 on our staff availability, we need to maintain our reduced weekend hours (8am–4pm) at both pools.

These changes are temporary and will be regularly reviewed. We acknowledge that this is not an ideal situation, but making these changes will ensure that we can continue to keep our facilities open and provide continuity of service to the Kāpiti Coast community for as long as possible.
