Upper Hutt’s famous H2O Xtream Aquatic Centre reopened on Monday morning to a crowd of loyal locals. The Spinoff took a dip. Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy is now the second New Zealand mayor named Wayne to open a popular pool in recent months – but rather than unveiling something new, it was the city’s beloved 29-year-old pool, now with a multimillion-dollar facelift.
