Coastlands SplashStats fun facts!
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!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
