Learn to Swim

We offer fun,
friendly swimming
lessons for all ages

 

Our Learn to Swim lessons give you the assurance that your kids will be safe swimming at the beach, bombing at the river, boating at the lake or swimming in a pool. Every kiwi kid should know the basic swimming strokes - but we are on a mission to achieve much more than this.

We offer group or one-on-one lessons in four age categories at both Waterworld and Gallagher Aquatic Centre

To chat to our learn to swim team please contact waterworld@hcc.govt.nz 

 

Babies (3 to 36 Months)

Babies – For babies 12 weeks to 3 years old. Adults take part in the lesson with their babies. We have a child-centred swimming philosophy, where children progress from skill to skill at their own pace. We encourage you to swim at least once more each week with your little one to build up their confidence.

3 to 36 months
