INTRODUCTION

​​​​​​​In 1970 Mount Wellington Swimming Club has been established, following the opening of the Swimarama Pool Complex in Panmure on 20 December 1969.

It has been operating on the premises of Lagoon Pool & Leisure Centre/Panmure ever since.

The Club runs a coaching and training programme for its members.

There are two types of memberships, swimming for competitions and swimming for general fitness. Competitive swimmers are graded based on their results at swimming competitions, in line with Swimming NZ guidelines.

Swimmers must be able to swim competently to be eligible to join the club.   Please note, currently there is a waiting list to join the club.

MISSION STATEMENT

Mount Wellington Swimming Club will:

o    Recognise that our swimmers are the most important part of our swimming club, regardless of their ability.

o    Ensure our swimmers are all treated with respect, listened to with an understanding ear, encouraged to become the very best swimmers they can be and, more importantly, outstanding members of the community.
