Fun Nights are held on the last one of the term - starting at 5.45 and finishing approx 7.30 - 8pm.

The Tuesday night swim club only has 110 places per term due to lane space.

Please note that if you come along as a parent spectator, you'll still need to pay the $1 pool spectator charge.

Prior to joining Tuesday night swimming, you will need to contact Sue Smart for an assessment -- either email at home susansmart@xtra.co.nz  or work  sue.smart@nbnz.co.nz. Sue's phone number contacts are home 476 5855 and work 499 5233.

After assessment, please post your registrations to Nuala O'Connor, 11 Sunshine Ave, Karori 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.  

As it is community based it has to be on a first in first served basis. Copies of the form are also available here.

Please note we are not a learn to swim club, we improve techniques that have already been taught.
