WaiSwim is a registered Quality Swim School with Swimming New Zealand. The focus of the programme is to provide tamariki with a strong foundation of balance and body positioning in the water and then build on these skills. Learning to swim is a life skill and takes time.

We are all too well aware of drowning statistics in New Zealand and although we take lessons at our kura pool we can be disadvantaged because of weather, the number of classes and the temperature of the water.

In Terms 2 or 3 our yr 0-6 classes go to Dudley pool for our swimming programme. The Wai Swim programme is where tamariki can have 10 lessons at the heated Dudley Pool, Rangiora, taken by qualified swimming instructors.

Buses are provided free to and from the venue and the cost of swimming instructions per student is only $15 in total ($1.50 per lesson).
