Temporary Note
Marton Swim Centre is closed
In 2023 a crack had been identified in one of the roof support beams of the swim centre. Working alongside Community Leisure Management (CLM) and structural engineers, Council made the decision to close the Marton Swim Centre until further notice.
Updates on the progress of this project is available at our Marton Swim Centre Project
There are Council-operated swimming pools in Marton and Taihape.
Have a look at the Marton and Taihape Swim Centre pages for information about opening hours and prices. Both centres have very active facebook pages and is a great way to stay in touch and see what's going on.
There is a community-run pool in Hunterville open during the summer months.
