Swim and the freedom is yours. Wherever you are, whoever you are, it’s the start of something extraordinary. Swimming New Zealand is the organisation helping to ensure every New Zealander swims to their potential. Far bigger than competition - swimming is a core human skill that opens a world of opportunity.

Those opportunities include lake swimming and ocean swimming.  Swimming New Zealand launched its lake swim series this year on Lake Taupo.  It is held in conjunction with the Swimming New Zealand Open Water Championships, which sees New Zealand’s best open water swimmers competing for the national title.  The Epic Swim has a range of recreational swims for children right through to a 10km event for adults.

For more information on Epic Swim go to www.epicswim.co.nz

Being able to swim also opens up a world of additional water-based activities including water skiing, fishing, white water rafting, jet boating, kayaking, and many more.

From lane swimming to aqua jogging, swimming is also fantastic for recovery from sports-related and other injuries and illnesses.  Many top New Zealand athletes use the pool or beach to train, as well as to recover after major events.

If your recreational activities don’t include any water-based activities, take the first step today and you will be surprised how just addictive water can be!
