Competitive

The club's competitive swimmers train in five different squads:

- Stingrays

- Electric Eels

- Seahawks

- Hammerheads

- Tiger Sharks

Placement in squads is based on the swimmer's development needs. Progression between squads is at the coaches' discretion. If you have questions about which squad you or you child should be in, please contact Steve Francis, the club's Head Coach.

All training is at the Karori Pool, Donald Street, Karori (unless otherwise indicated by your coach).

Please consult the Karori Pirates Squad Training Timetable for your squad's training times. Note the recommended number of sessions.

Coaches Corner

Well done to all swimmers and parents last weekend. After a slow start Saturday we had a great Sunday and finished the weekend very well. Stacks of medals from a number of swimmers, and two Wellington records to Ted Taylor. Now we need to be even better this weekend.

Swimmer of the month

Swimmer of the Month for August is Abigail Dorrington. Abby is the hardest working, most consistent training Pirate. Well done Abby!
