We offer free assessments to determine yours or your child’s level.
Holiday swim courses run over five consecutive half days (four if there is a public holiday) from Monday to Friday. Courses may be in the morning or the afternoon. We take enrolments for complete courses only.
If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!
Contact us using the details on this page, or talk to the Learn to Swim team at the centre. A free assessment may be required to determine your child's level.
Plunket kids under five years are eligible for 50 per cent off swimming lessons with Learn to Swim West Wave.
The discount applies to classes from Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm, and is valid for four consecutive enrolments. Little swimmers must be enrolled into Baby, Toddler or Preschooler lessons.
Complete this form and we'll be in touch with a time to assess your little one and enrol them in a suitable programme for their skill level.
We’re experienced and skilled at working with schools, tailoring programmes to schools’ needs and the age and stage of their students:
Lessons can take place in our facilities, or our instructors can come to you if your school has its own pool.
Auckland Council Pools and Leisure is a partner in the Greater Auckland Aquatic Action Plan (GAAAP) programme of funded school swimming lessons.
