“The safety of our customers and staff is our top priority, and we are thankful that no one was injured in this incident,” Ditchburn said.
As a result, the aquatics centre’s planned maintenance shutdown has been brought forward.
The facility had already been scheduled to close for maintenance on June 10, with a planned reopening date of June 25.
In a post on Facebook, the leisure centre announced the closure had been brought forward.
“This will allow us to complete the required work and planned maintenance during one closure period, minimising future disruption for our members.”
Passholders have been told they can use their memberships at other Auckland pools during the closure.
“We appreciate your patience and understanding while the work is carried out.”
It said it looked forward to welcoming people back on Thursday, June 25.
