A wastewater overflow has entered Lake Whakatipu along part of the Frankton Arm near Goldfield Heights. The issue was resolved within five minutes of the overflow occurring, but warning signage has been erected on the lakefront in the affected area. Water quality testing is underway and signage will be removed once clear results are returned.

Holiday swim weeks

Mix up the kids' school holidays with swim classes at Alpine Aqualand (Queenstown Events Centre) and Wānaka Recreation Centre. 

A 30-minute swimming lesson each day is an intensive way for children to rapidly develop their swimming skills and enhance their technique.

As part of our learn to swim programme, we encourage you to use our public pools before and after lessons (we suggest after so students aren’t tired for their class). This is included in the cost of lessons so there’s no need to pay pool entry for the person being taught (but accompanying family members and friends do need to pay!). It’s a great opportunity to practise new skills.
