Hey Swim Club Whanau - this would be a great thing for us all to get behind don't you think? Click on the link in the article below and place your vote!

Vote now! Port Chalmers Swimming Pool is in the running to get free solar panels, thanks to Think Solar Dunedin. Sustainable energy would significantly reduce our pool's running costs, and could keep it open longer.

19% increase in patronage at our local pool - wahoo! We love that our local pool is being used by the community for children and adults alike!

The pool is closed for the winter season now but we look forward to it opening up again in September.

Kia ora koutou,

Firstly, our huge thanks to everyone for an amazing season. Thanks for coming to lessons, attending our events and helping us raise funds. We appreciate you all.

Our Club Champs were great fun, and we have just two more weeks of lessons.

The final event on our club calendar is our Prizegiving!

Sunday 29 March – 4pm, Port Chalmers School

A celebration of our season. There will be certificates for all children to mark their swimming progress, as well as trophies/cups for age group winners etc. After this part of the gathering (approximately 1 hour), we break for shared kai (Swim club will provide pizza).

We would love if you could please let us know if you will be there - for catering purposes (so we can make sure we have enough pizza!) and so we have everyone's certificates ready.

Please RSVP by next Wednesday 25 March BY EMAIL with the numbers for your whanau that will be attending.

We really hope you can all make it along.

Nga mihi,

Lisa and Libby

That's right... it's Club Champs time!

This Sunday afternoon - be there or miss out on some fun! The children swim a few races each (on their front, on their back, etc.) to show off their progress this season. These races also help the coaches with their end-of-season trophy allocation.

Everyone, all levels, most welcome! There's even an adult race for our SwimFit adults AND parents/aged-out older siblings of current swim club members.

Come along! 1:30pm for a 2:00pm sharp start to the races.

Bring two towels! And please bring back any trophies you may have been given last year so we can get them ready for prizegiving this year.

See you there!

Big thanks to everyone who helped today with our Dash & Splash event. It was so good to see the children giving it a go!

Special thanks to Licia Mihaka and her team from the West Harbour Swim School, to the local Port Chalmers & District Lions Club and to our own committee members for putting this event together.

Well done everyone!
