ASB Bank Aquatic Centre - Tasman

Great set up for swimmers of all agrs.

We had a nice visit here however there should be signage telling new customers that you have to pay to hire floaty devices, because there were no signs until we were in the pool we had to go out to the reception in our togs to pay the money to then go find a lifeguard to give a token to to get a floaty for an hour. A very clunky system. I am also amazed there is not free floaty usage. Also, they should open the window to the cafe so parents supervising children can relax with a coffee while supervising. Instead you have to be out by the reception. Again, a clunky system. Also, too much chlorine.

Our Granddaughter has just finished her first swimming lessons, even though she is only 7 months old. The instructor was absolutely great, and had her confidence after the first lesson. The lessons are a tad expensive, but what price being able to swim properly?

Great pools! Our kids have swimming lessons here. They cater for birthday parties too and also have a pretty good cafe. Sometimes can get a bit whiffy with the chlorine smell but not too bad. Lots of pools to choose from too. Lane pool, family spa, adult spa, wave pool, lazy river, baby pool, kid's pool and another bigger warm one right at the end. Also have a gym and sauna!

This has now re-branded from ASB Aquatic Center to Richmond Aquatic and Fitness Center. Pretty good place for the kids. They love it. A lot of chlorine for me, but I have read somewhere that they have changed their formula recently and they don't use so much now. It can be really packed on a rainy weekend or school holidays. They also have a wave pool but often don't put it on until after 3 (except for school holidays?), so check before going if this is the drawcard for you.
