A busy Sunday evening at Riverside Pool! 🏊‍♂️
We may close to the public at 5pm on Sundays, but there was still plenty of action happening behind the scenes tonight! 🌟
We hosted our SwimMagic Swim School Carnival alongside the Nelson South Swimming Club . Keep an eye on our page, as we’ll have more information and photos from the carnival to share soon! 📸🏅

Our Customer Service and Aquatics teams also came together for meetings and training ahead of Nayland Park Pool opening next weekend. ☀️💦

It was fantastic to see such a great turnout. A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their Sunday evening to attend. We really appreciate your commitment and support! 👏💙

🌟 INSTRUCTOR OF THE MONTH – SEPTEMBER: ABBEY! 🌟 🥇

A huge congratulations to our amazing Abbey Roche, our Instructor of the Month for September! 💛

Over the past 12 months, Abbey has grown so much, both personally and professionally, and it has been incredible to watch her journey. She has always been a fantastic instructor, but lately, she has truly stepped up to another level!

As our Head Instructor, Abbey has been taking the lead in training and developing our team, helping keep everything running smoothly and going above and beyond to support both our instructors and our swimmers. 🏊‍♀️

But what makes us especially proud is seeing how much Abbey has grown in confidence and stepped into her role. Her hard work, dedication and willingness to keep learning have made such a difference to our team, and we are so lucky to have her!

Abbey, we are incredibly proud of you and all that you’ve achieved. Thank you for everything you bring to SwimMagic and for being such a valuable part of our team. 💛

Well deserved, Abbey! You absolutely rock! 💪🥇

Help us celebrate Abbey in the comments! 👏💦

At Riverside Pool, we're proud to be a place where our community comes together.
Poipoia i tō oranga i te taha o ētahi atu, hei oranga mō te katoa | Nurture your wellbeing alongside others, for the wellbeing of all.
Throughout Mental Health Awareness Week, we'll be celebrating connection, community, and wellbeing with a range of activities and initiatives, including:
💙 A daily riddle posted at reception
💙 Kōrero cards to spark conversations and connections within our facility
💙 Adult and children's colouring competitions
💙 Everyone deserves to feel they belong.
