Community swim for Year 3s

Dear Parents,

The John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation has invited your child’s school to participate in their Community Swim programme. Established in 2008 Community Swim has provided over 850,000 free swim lessons throughout primary schools in Auckland South. Community Swim is proudly sponsored by the Lion Foundation, Auckland Council, Potter Masonic Trust and Water Safety New Zealand.

Your school has elected to participate in this programme and we welcome your child’s attendance in this learn to swim initiative.  The dates and times for your child’s lessons will be notified to you by their school.

Your child will be taking part in swimming lessons with Community Swim. Seven 25-minute learn to swim lessons are delivered by qualified swimming instructors from the Swimgym swim school.  The children are transported to and from school in special Community Swim buses.

The goal of the Community Swim Programme is to enable all children to develop the basic life skill of swimming and to realize the opportunities that await them when the door to the world of aquatics is opened.

If your child owns a pair of goggles we recommend they bring these along as this will assist considerably with their learning to swim.

Swimgym Swim School operates year round, catering to all swimming abilities, from 6 months through to adults, beginner to squad level. For more information, find us at www.swimgym.org.nz.

Auckland Council also teach lessons at Manurewa Leisure Centre 09 269 0930 and Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa, Mangere 09 275 8979.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to meeting your child on their first lesson with us.

Yours in Swimming,




Katherine Sugarman
Manager - Community Swim Programme
