About Wanaka Swim Club

Welcome to Wanaka Swim Club, where passion meets performance. Established with the vision of fostering a community of aquatic excellence, our club is dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages and abilities to thrive in the water.

Our Philosophy

We aim to inspire and educate swimmers, and help them to maximise their potential. Our main goal is to encourage children and adults in the community to develop their swimming, gain confidence and increased safety in the water, then look to develop swimming as a sport through to the competitive level.

Excellence in Coaching

We offer world-class coaching tailored to each swimmer's needs. Our experienced and dedicated coaches provide expert guidance, support, and encouragement for swimmers, whether they’re beginners mastering fundamental skills in competitive swimming or seasoned athletes refining their technique.

Holistic Approach

We believe in the transformative power of swimming - not only as a sport but as a vehicle for personal growth, health, and lifelong enjoyment. We emphasise swimmers’ technical proficiency as well as their resilience, well-being, and camaraderie within our community.

Community and Comradeship

Our welcoming community fosters friendships, teamwork, and a sense of belonging both in and out of the water through regular training, squad outings, social events, volunteer initiatives and supporting networks. We are more than just a club - we are a family.
