Aqua Education

Let us tailor an aqua education programme for your school.

We’ve designed our education programmes in conjunction with Swimming New Zealand, Surf New Zealand, New Zealand Underwater, Water Safety New Zealand, ACC and Coastguard New Zealand.

They’re designed to equip children with practical skills and positive water experiences so they can have a lifetime of enjoyment in, on and around our waterways.
