New end-of-season membership for Lyttelton pool

A new end-of-season membership has been introduced at Lyttelton’s Norman Kirk Memorial Summer Pool, which will open along with Council’s four other outdoor pools on 16 November 2019. The pool has its usual full summer season membership in place for $160, but will also offer a second tier of membership valid from 1 February 2020 until 29 March 2020 for $80. Key holders will have access to the pool from 7am until 8pm every day of the week, with all members required to complete a 30 minute safety induction.

Christchurch City Council’s Head of Recreation, Sports and Events Nigel Cox is sure the community will welcome the additional membership option.

“The newly introduced end-of-season membership will be great for people who are away over the holiday period, but want to utilise it once they are back home” Mr Cox says.

“The community will enjoy the extended opening hours. There’s nothing more Kiwi than summer nights in the pool with your family and friends.”

Lifeguards will only be based at the pool from 16 November until 2 February, between 11.30am and 7pm, during which time casual users are also able to access the facility at a rate of $6.20 per adult and $3.60 per child. After this time casual users will be able to use the facility when they are with a member, paying via an honesty box.
