👋As we wrap up an epic first season as kaitiaki of the Dave Hume Pool, we want to thank you for your support and share a few highlights🩵

We kicked things off with a splashing pool party, was a part of the National Jazz Festival with our first Swim ’n’ Jazz, hosted the first ever Katikati Swim/Walk Challenge, and brought plenty of special moments to the community. From hundreds of laps swum to lengths walked, inflatables, school swim sports, and Children’s Day celebrations - there really has been something for everyone.
It’s also been fantastic to see BaySwim in action, alongside yoga with Victoria and Aquafit led by Chloe from AquaFit Katikati. Our new outdoor gym has been another great addition for the community to enjoy.

We’ve loved every minute - see you in Spring! 🩵
