SPLASH!

Fun whatever the weather; with inflatables and games in the pool on weekends, as well as public holidays and every day of the school holidays from 1pm–4.30pm.

Learning to swim and survive is a fundamental life skill that opens up a world of opportunities.

SwimKāpiti runs swim lessons at Waikanae Pool during term 4 and term 1, but runs year-round at Coastlands Aquatic Centre and Ōtaki Pool. See our Learn to Swim page for more information
