Learn to Swim

Can't swim at all, but always wanted to learn?   Well this one is for you.  Learn to swim and be able to participate in more water realted events with greater confidence.

What to expect:

 

We will meet at the pool at 18h00.  The lesson starts at 18h15.  The instructor, a New Zealand Men's water polo representative, will take you through the swimming skills.  The swimming pool is enclosed and the water is heated, so this event can go ahead in all weather. The water is hip deep (1.1m), which means you can stand up at any point during the class.

The pool is nice and private with the masses of people normally around the larger swimming pools.

 

What is included:

A 45 minute swimming lesson during which you will learn kicking, stroking and breathing skills.  The initial objective is to teach you survival back and breast stroke.  This means you will be able to keep yourself on the surface should it ever happen that you fall off the peer or out of a boat. 

 

Difficulty Rating:

 

Cost:

Transfer $10 to the AW bank account before 4-02-2013 to secure your spot.

Account Name: Adventure Wellington Trust
Account #: 38-9012-0322630-00
Reference: 101397312/Your name / Swimming 

Future Possibilities:

Learning to swim is normally something a person does over a number of sessions.  I will post these sessions every second week, unless there is enough people to justify more frequent event. 

What to bring:

Togs and Towel
 

Location: The pool is located in the Berhampore School Aquatic Centre at 105 Britomart Street, Berhampore.
