Competition

We'll never take recreation into serious pool competition; swimming is not that kind of sport. We can, however, take competition into recreation. Not the racing itself, but the inspiration and knowledge that drives the racing.

Lets aim to build bridges between the two aspects of the sport.

Lets help recreational swimmers of all ages and abilities to feel involved.

Help them to feel that Swimming New Zealand wants to share knowledge, tips, support – and above all, passion for the water.

What we can offer

Over 1 million New Zealanders Swim (SPARC 2007/8 Active New Zealand Survey). The majority of these are recreational swimmers.

Recreational swimming has a tremendous array of benefits.

Swimming New Zealand has many exciting initiatives such as the State Epic Swim and look forward to connecting and adding value to the recreational swimmer.

Being affiliated with a SNZ registered swimming club is the best way to keep informed about events and activities in the swimming arena. In addition you can email to info@swimmingnz.org.nz and ask to be registered to the FASTLANE newsletter database.
