YMCA Swim Schools receive Swimming New Zealand award
YMCA Swim Schools in Auckland has received a Quality Swim Schools award at the 2017 Swimming New Zealand Awards.
The award, presented held at a ceremony at Ellerslie Events Centre on April 8, acknowledges outstanding performance from swim schools around the country.
YMCA Swim Schools in Auckland has worked tirelessly over the past three years to become an industry leader by placing a strong emphasis on teaching water safety within its learn to swim programmes.
YMCA also aims to break down barriers to swimming and water safety lessons by providing affordable or subsidised classes to communities across Auckland. The subsidised programmes have provided more families with access to aquatic education for their children. Over 10,000 students have participated in YMCA Swim School lessons in the past year.
Swimming and water safety sessions are available for babies through to adults across four sites in Auckland: Onehunga War Memorial Pool, Lagoon Pool and Leisure Centre (Panmure), Glen Innes Pool and Leisure Centre and Cameron Pool and Leisure Centre (Mt Roskill). Visit www.ymcaauckland.org.nz/swim to find out more.
