Our swimming workouts are in the 50m pool. This pool is usually divided into three 25m pools, by movable barriers. HCM normally hires up to 4 lanes, which are run as fast, medium, and slow lanes, together with a casual lane. The fast, medium, and slow lanes swim to a variable supplied program. For example the fast lane may swim about 3.2 km and the medium lane 2.4 km over the course of the hour long workout. Directions to the Pool The Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre complex is based in the Wellington suburb of Kilbirnie, on the eastern side of Kilbirnie Crescent. A No 14 ( Wilton ) bus from the city stops at the pool entrance in Kilbirnie Crescent. Impact on your pocket Currently there is a pool entry charge of $5.00 for an adult.
