Developing kapiti Swimmers
Tuesday Club Night is run by award winning experienced coaches and offers swimming development and beginning to swim techniques while promoting the correct strokes and skills used by competitive swimmers.
It runs every Tuesday night from 5pm to 6pm during term time. Sessions in little and tyre pools are from half an hour, while the big pool is a full hour. We take all children from 4 years old, there is no set ability criteria to start. Children can begin their first swimming steps with Tuesday Club swimming and we welcome children who are complete beginners, including children who have fear of the water. Children can start club night at any age. Those ready for the big pool on Tuesday club nights work on fitness, technique and swimming skills during term time.
Children progress from the Learner’s pool up into the big pool gaining competitive swimming skills along the way. Our focus is swimming in a fun club environment. As we are a club we do need parent help from time to time. We hold regular fun race nights and love when our Tuesday night swimmers enter. Many children from the Tuesday Club go on to our squad swimming programme.
Alex(6) and Art (5) RSC champs 2011. Both swimming with club for only 1 year and can now easily swim lengths of the big pool in freestyle and backstroke.
The best thing about Tuesday Club Night is the club atmosphere: swimmers start swimming together and work on skills and make friendships along the way up to the big pool.
