Centennial Swimming Pool
A playful baptism of service at the Papatoetoe Centennial swimming pool, the day before it was opened to the public. H. St George, the pool manager is about to take the plunge. A long time in the planning, excavation and building, the Olympic size open-air Papatoetoe Centennial Swimming Pool was formally opened on 20 March 1965. The indoor complex, including a heated 25-metre lap pool and therapeutic learners' and toddlers' pools, was added in 1997.
