Best for a straightforward family swim in Westport. The council recreation centre has an eight-lane 25 metre pool, a warm leisure and toddler pool and a hydrotherapy pool with a ramp, with lifeguards on duty, a swim school and a gym alongside.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A dependable pool for a Westport family: toddlers get a warm shallow pool, learners get lessons, and lap swimmers get a proper 25 metre pool with lanes. It is a swim rather than a splash park, so kids expecting slides will be disappointed; for those, Greymouth's centre is an hour and a half south.

Overview
Pulse Energy Recreation Centre on Pakington Street is Westport's council sports hub. Indoors there is an eight-lane 25 metre lap pool, a warm leisure pool with a toddler area, and a hydrotherapy pool with ramp access, all with lifeguards on duty. There is no hydroslide and no spa, which reviewers used to Greymouth's pools notice. The rest of the building holds a gym, a two-court stadium and a squash court, with an artificial hockey turf outside. Reviewers say the changing rooms are spotless.
