At Porirua City Aquatics we offer Learn to Swim lessons during each school term. Lessons are held on Sunday mornings at Cannons Creek Pool and are normally in 6-7 week blocks.
Cannons Creek Pool is an ideal Learn to Swim pool, it is a heated indoor pool that is 25m in length and 1 metre deep. Swimmers taking part in the lessons must be able to touch the bottom of the pool unassisted. They therefore should be a minimum of 1.1 metres tall and at least five years old. All participants must wear correct fitting goggles and appropriate swim attire.
Swimmers should arrive at the pool promptly at either 9:15 or 9:45 a.m. so they are ready for the lessons which commence at 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. and run for half an hour. Swimmers are assessed at their initial lesson and placed into a group suitable for their ability (Level 1 - Level 5). We have 5 differing groups in the pool at the same time and swimmers progress through the groups during their time in our Learn to Swim programme.
At the end of each block of lessons each swimmer receives a certificate noting and congratulating them on their achievements. All lessons are overseen by experienced and trained adult Learn to Swim Instructors. Some instructors work with the swimmers in the water and are assisted by some of our older club swimmers.
Our Learn to Swim Pathway is available here. Once swimmers have met the Level 5 competencies they have the option of joining our PCA club.
Our next Learn to Swim programme commences on 14 February and runs for 7 weeks until 28 March, the cost of the programme is $40 for the full 7 weeks. Payment is required at enrolment which occurs on the first day registration, cash or cheque please we don't have eftpos.
