Open year-round, the Clive War Memorial Pool is a two-pool, heated indoor complex located in Farndon Park on the edge of the Clive River. The main pool is heated to 28 degrees and the learner’s pool to 31 degrees.
The complex features a 25-metre training pool and 15 metre learn to swim pool, superb learn to swim classes and dedicated lanes for water play and lap swimming. If you prefer to work out with others, our AquaFit classes cater for all fitness levels.
A base for the Trojan Swim Club, Waimarama Surf Club and Hawke’s Bay Canoe Polo, Clive Pool is also used for school learn to swim and water safety classes.
There’s always fun to be had at Clive War Memorial Pool with giant inflatables often entertaining the kids during the weekend in winter and school holidays.
