March 29, 2022

Wellington City Council has announced that their 'Out in the Pool Party' sessions are now being held every month for the queer, transgender, gender diverse and non-binary community.

Council is inviting the LGBTQI+ community and allies to dive in and swim in a safe and welcoming environment at Keith Spry Pool in Johnsonville.

Out in the Pool evenings at Keith Spry will have:

  • Gender neutral changing rooms and bathrooms, as well as Men's and Women's changing facilities.
  • Recreation lanes with inflatables, as well as the Dive board open.
  • Lane space will be available to swim some lengths or aqua jog, and the teaching pool will be open.
  • SwimWell instructors will be available for swimming tips and coaching
  • Spa and Sauna available
  • Music, swimming and good vibes only.

There is no additional cost for these sessions, simply turn up and pay the regular pool entry fees; $6.60 for adults and $3.90 for children (spa & sauna additional).

These sessions are being held on the first Sunday of every month from 6pm-8pm
