First of all I would like to extend to you, a very warm welcome and thank you for choosing to join Collegiate Swimming Club.
Our club is one of the oldest in Southland with a very proud history extending towards 80 years and we welcome all new swimmers and their families.
Collegiate Swimming Club offers tuition to young swimmers right across the swimming spectrum.
We provide learn to swim classes for the beginner right through to advanced training for the competitive swimmers. We also cater for those who swim purely as a recreational pursuit.
This leaflet is designed as an introduction and guide for new club members, however please feel free to contact myself or any member of our Club Committee, should you have any queries or problems.
I trust your association with the Collegiate Swimming Club will be a pleasurable one.
