Returning swimmer from past terms? Let us know half way through the term before the one you want to enrol in. That way we have time to look for a place before we offer them to new people.

SwimWright teaches children from three years and older to pre-competitive level, at Wilford School pool in Petone, seven days a week during term time. 

Weekday preschool lessons are held on Monday and Wednesday during school hours. Weekday school age classes run every day after school, starting at 3.30pm.  On Saturday and Sunday there are both preschool and school age lessons.

We teach one lesson in the pool at a time. The water is 33 to 34 degrees. Hamish maintains the water quality himself; besides a  knowledge of swim teaching, he has many years' experience running pools, and holds internationally recognised water treatment qualifications.

The pool has a modern, powerful filtration system.  In addition we've recently installed a UV sanitation system, which eliminates bacteria and viruses as well as chloramines, the compound that causes skin reactions.

There are no lessons in school holidays.

You can read more about  the skill levels here. Once your child reaches the 45-minute Advanced Improver 3 grade they're ready to move on to competitive squads and clubs if they want, and they're strong enough swimmers to take on any aquatic sport such as water polo or underwater hockey. 

We do not offer private lessons.

The cost for all classes is $195 for a ten week term.

Enrol at SwimWright

We'd love to take your child into Martina, Lisa, and Hamish's care right now, so they can feel the confidence that comes from quick progress, and benefit by applying that confidence in other areas of their life.

However, the fact is that we have a wait list for most grades. If you're happy to wait and join when a place does come up, we're happy to add your child's name once we know what grade they're in.

If your child can float independently on their back and tummy they may not be in our Beginner or Preschool 1 grade, and they need to be assessed.

Contact us to find out more about how to get Hamish to do an assessment of your child's swimming skills.  That way we can find them the right grade, and then add their name to the wait list.  There's no cost for assessment, of course.

If your child cannot float independently on their back and tummy they're in either our Preschool 1 or school age Beginner grades and they don't need to be assessed.
