Play Pool Sessions

QLDC Swim School will host baby and toddler play sessions on the first Monday of every month at Alpine Aqualand.

Play pool sessions are all about building water confidence and skills through toddler-led sessions. Instructors are on hand to teach parents holds, tips and tricks, but the activity must be initiated by the toddler.

This helps create a fun and engaging environment for little ones.

All about Play Pool sessions:

  • Child-led play sessions are great for under 5 year olds

  • Sessions will be held in Alpine Aqualand's learners pool between 12.00pm and 2.00pm (first Monday of every month)

  • You can drop-in at any point over the two hours

  • It's free, just pay pool entry!

  • No need to book, just turn up!

For more information, please email aqualandswimschool@qldc.govt.nz

Will this be offered at Wānaka Recreation Centre?

We're hoping to bring these sessions to Wānaka, but at this stage it is just on at Alpine Aqualand (Queenstown).

  • Monday 13 April 2026

  • Monday 4 May 2026

  • Monday 8 June 2026
