Swim School Classes

“We have been with AUT Millennium for over 12 years, with all three of our children attending since they were six months old. As a result, our children have developed a love for the pool and ocean all year round. They are confident in all water levels, enjoy learning swimming techniques—especially when the flippers come out—and love encouraging their friends to build their own confidence in the water too. The instructors are supportive, providing wonderful guidance throughout their swimming journey.”

"We’ve really loved coming to the Swim School with all our children. We started off in the baby class, going into the water with the kids and getting them used to having their heads under water and being more confident in the water. It was really great to see how they progressed and became independent. All the kids now love swimming for fun. Getting into the water over summer is one of the most important things in New Zealand, so it’s been great to see how their swimming skills have translated to being much more confident at the beach. We always feel really supported by the staff and they’ve helped the children come along."

“We have been with the Swim School for 7 years, with both my boys starting when they were babies and even though we now no longer live in the area, we still make the journey every week. The staff and their teachers have been outstanding, they are very knowledgeable and both boys have developed such confidence in the water and continue to develop their skills. A bonus, this year my 7-year-old won his school swimming sports, it was amazing to see the smile on his face. The small class sizes, calm environment, fantastic teachers and helpful staff make this the best Swim School for us”.

"We like doing Swim School Holiday Intensives because we have busy weekly schedules during the term and I use the school holidays to focus on improving the kids’ swimming. We have found the Swim School teachers overall attentive, encouraging and responsive. We have also found the Swim School managing team friendly and helpful when we’ve had questions about levels, scheduling and basic techniques. As parents our aim is for our kids to be confident swimmers and to be able to know the different strokes sufficiently. We have found this to be helpful for our kids when they take part in things like swimming socially or swimming at school events- they are keen and able to join in."
