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. 

We're all learning to live in a world where COVID-19 is the norm. Remember, if you're unwell, take a test and please don’t visit our facilities. Exercise good hygiene, and while there's no longer a requirement to wear masks when you visit our facilities, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask we encourage you to do so.

Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our staff availability, we may need to reduce services at short notice. To sign up to our text or email alerts please email us your contact details to [email protected] 

We acknowledge that this is not an ideal situation, but this 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.
