1 / 3Perry Aquatic Centre
📍 Cambridge, Waikato
Best for under-fives and learners. Cambridge's council aquatic centre has a year-round indoor 25 metre pool, a heated learner pool and three tots' pools, plus a 50 metre outdoor pool and splash pad in summer. Free parking.
We celebrated my child’s birthday here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were professional, friendly, and respectful, they let us enjoy our space without interfering while still being helpful when needed. The kids had an amazing time, and the facilities were clean and well maintained. It’s a great venue for children of all ages. Highly recommend! Thank you again
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A strong pick for families with pre-schoolers and beginner swimmers: three tots' pools and a heated learner pool mean little ones paddle at their own depth while older kids do lengths next door. Summer is the time to go if you want the outdoor pool, splash pad and inflatable all running. Parents rate the cleanliness as the standout.

“The toddler pools are great! Easy access to all 3. Non-slip surfaces are good. Fun waterplay area outside too. And family changerooms are spacious and clean. A brilliant afternoon there.”

Overview
Cambridge's council-run pools on Williamson Street cover most bases for a family swim. Indoors there is a 25 metre lap pool open year round, a heated learner pool and three tots' pools with non-slip floors that parents single out for under-fives. In summer the 50 metre outdoor pool and a splash pad open up, and a big inflatable goes in on weekends and school holidays for swimmers aged five and over. There is also a spa and sauna, bookable barbecue areas and swim lessons.
