Information for New or Prospective Swimmers
Onehunga Swimming Club is based at Jellicoe Pool, Onehunga. It is a registered charity and provides competitive and non-competitive swimming training and learn to swim lessons.
Learn to Swim
We teach learn to swim in the small pool (from age 5), and in lane 6 of the big pool. Lessons are half an hour long, and are at 7pm or 7.30pm on Friday and 6.30pm or 7pm on Sunday nights. You can choose to swim once or twice a week. We swim in the last weekend of the school term but do not swim in the school holidays.
Children are placed in the class applicable to their ability. Children progress up the classes and will move into the big pool when the teachers consider they are ready.
Mini Squad
Once children are able to swim all strokes and after discussion with the relevant coaches, they can move to the mini squad group. These children swim three times a week on Wednesday 7-8pm, Friday 7.30-8.30pm and Sunday 6.30-7.30pm. We swim in the last weekend of term but do not swim in the school holidays
