Get amongst the fun and join our manu competition this summer to win prizes and become the Christchurch City Council manu champion!

Pack your togs, towel, sunscreen and gather your mates - show us what you’ve got this summer.

Four heats are being held at our pools across the city ahead of the grand final on Sunday 21 January at Jellie Park:

• Sunday 3 December at Waltham Summer Pool from 12pm to 2pm
• Sunday 10 December at Te Hāpua Halswell Summer Pool from 12pm to 2pm
• Sunday 17 December at Jellie Park from 12pm to 2pm
• Thursday 21 December at Te Pou Toetoe Linwood Pool from 7pm to 9.30pm
• Sunday 21 January at Jellie Park from 12pm to 2pm (Grand Final)

You can enter the manu competition in one of four categories: under 13s, 13 to 18 years, open female and adult.

At the end of the competition season, the top three queens or kings of the manu will be awarded an official trophy and prizes. Spot prizes will also be distributed throughout the competition.

Better yet - the winners of the Christchurch City Council manu competition will get free entry to the Z Manu World Championships Ōtautahi Christchurch heat at Jellie Park in February!

Thanks to our sponsor Streets, we’ve got free ice creams to give away – sweet!

Bring your whānau and friends – we'll see you there!
