Prior to joining Tuesday night swimming, you will need to contact Antoinette Hindle for an assessment
After assessment, please post your registrations to Antoinette Hindle, 99 Heke Street, Ngaio in advance with a post dated cheque (to be dated the first day of the term) to ensure your child does not miss out. Please do not use internet banking and deposit direct into the Club accounts.
A copy of the form can be downloaded from here.
As it is community based it has to be on a first in first served basis.
Please note we are not a learn to swim club, we improve techniques that have already been taught.
Coaches Corner
Great to be into some warm weather! Nice and light when we get up for morning training. Lots happening over the Summer period so please keep up to date by checking the website and go and 'like' the Pirates facebook page. I will have the Christmas holiday schedule out next week. We will have swimming available all through the holiday break up until swim camps, and then immediately after swim camps. Normal swimming schedule up to Saturday December 22nd.
