Pool rules and safety

Water safety is important to us - to keep everyone safe and healthy at the pools please ensure the following:

  • Children under 4 are required to wear a swim nappy in the pool
  • Children under 5 must be within arms reach of their adult supervisor* 
  • Children under 8 must be actively supervised by an adult supervisor*
  • Children aged 8-12, inclusive, that visit any of the Kapiti Coast District Council aquatics facilities unsupervised must give reception emergency contact details (first and last name and contact phone number) of a parent or guardian. Pool staff will act on any reasonable concerns about the care or safety of unaccompanied children in the pool but will not assume responsibility for the care of those children.

    These contact details will be held in confidence at Reception and securely disposed of at the end of each day.

    For groups, at least one emergency contact must be given.

*Adult supervisor – a person 16 years or over

MetService weather station

Council has hosted a MetService weather station at Waikanae Pool since 2018. This infrastructure is owned and maintained by MetService, and is hosted on a small pole in the pool’s courtyard, which is used for measuring atmospheric temperatures.

The weather station was established at the Waikanae Pool after councillors questioned whether the weather station at the Kāpiti Coast Airport was the best place for measuring the temperature for the district, given its close proximity to the sea. With Waikanae Pool further inland and closer to district’s centre, temperatures there were considered to better represent the warm climate of the Kāpiti Coast. You can read more about the background to the installation of this weather station in this media release from November 2018.

If you're experiencing any problems with the weather station, please contact MetService.
