Congratulations to Carmi, from our Papakura Branch, for taking out first place in the junior women’s U71 Catagory at the South Island championships held in Nelson.

We are so proud of you and feeling very lucky to have you as part of our Swimsation family 💚

Today marks the shortest day of the year here in NZ, which means the sun is on its way back ... and we can't wait!

⏲️ 7 days till Matariki long weekend

⏲️ 10 Fridays till spring

⏲️ 23 Fridays till summer

⏲️ 26 Fridays till Christmas ... maybe this one is to scary to think about just yet 😅

Happy Friday!

💚💙 Proud Moment 💚💙

CONGRATULATIONS to Nicky Russell, Analisa Gordon & Greer Mcgonagle, who all did a super job in the schools programme & received Schools Elite for Year 1 & 2 Delivery!

Keep up the great work - teaching vital learn to swim skills with lots of smiles & fun!

Reflection will help students learn from their past experiences and turn surface learning into deep learning.

Last week our swimmers were learning about the H.E.L.P position.

Maybe they can help you get into the draw for Spike's gift basket of treats.

➡️ What is the H.E.L.P Position?
➡️ When do we use it?
➡️ Why do we use it?

A correct answer to any of the questions gets you into the draw for Spike's basket. Good Luck

🤽Flippaball with 🤽

Swimsation is proud to have Waitakere Waterpolo using our pool on Sunday afternoons for the West Auckland Flippa Ball competition.

It is great to see kids using their water confidence skills to engage in one of the many sports available once you can swim.

If you are keen to come down to watch & maybe join a team they are at the Te Atatu pool from 1pm to 4.30pm on Sundays.

🌼 3 Months till Spring 🌼

Everyone is talking about Winter, but we are looking ahead and counting down to spring!

✅ Make up lessons available ✅

This week as part of our boat safety education we are teaching our swimmers how to pick & fit the right lifejacket for them.

Life Jacket Selection and Fit When it comes to ensuring a child's safety on the water, no piece of equipment is more vital than a life jacket. Here are some common fitting mistakes and ho...

Are you as clever as a Swimsation swimmer?

Do you know what the W, E & T are referring too?
