Coastlands SplashStats fun facts!

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

It’s that time of year when all any of us wants to do is hit the pool! Our fabulous Aquatics staff have definitely been keeping busy!

Did you know that at Kāpiti Coast District Council, we:
– do at least 7,300 manual water tests each year on our four water bodies (lap pool, programmes pool, spa pool, and hydroslide)
– do a minimum of 4,380 analyser tests in a year – there are often more!
– do 104 backwashes on the spa every year (this takes about 30 minutes each time)
– backwash the lap and programmes pools at least 50 times a year – these take about 30 minutes on the programmes pool and about 40 minutes on the lap pool
– rotate lifeguards every 15 minutes through the day – that means 146,328 rotations each year!

Get wet at Coastlands Aquatics Centre – come and spend the day!
