The Olympic is the only covered Olympic size pool in Central Auckland originally commissioned in anticipation of the
1950 Empire Games. The Newmarket Olympic Pool is an excellent example of a private public partnership, owned by the
Auckland City Council but run by The Olympic Pool and Fitness Centre Ltd with all the investment in the development and
upkeep of the complex at no cost to ratepayers.
