Swimming Pools
There are Council-operated swimming pools in Marton and Taihape.
Have a look at the Marton and Taihape Swim Centre pages for information about opening hours and prices. Both centres have very active facebook pages and is a great way to stay in touch and see what's going on.
There is a community-run pool in Hunterville open during the summer months.
