Swim Tangaroa

Swim Tangaroa provides Swimming and Water Safety programmes for
 

• Tamaiti
• Tamariki

Our programme is designed to encourage and assist our whanau/families to develop Swimming and Water Safety skills through participating in a variety of fun and safe activities in the water.

Our levels are given names of sea life that live and thrive within Tangaroa. As your child grows and develops new aquatic and water safety skills they too will grow and thrive within our programme.

Our Swim Tangaroa Whanau are committed to giving the skill of learning to swim as we believe this to be a skill of life.

Tamaiti 

Designed for children aged 4 to 5 years, Tamaiti is the water confidence component of the Swim Tangaroa program. Tamaiti is fundamental to the development of basic foundation skills in swimming, survival and water safety, as is a positive attitude towards learning these essential skills.

Swim Tangaroa Tamaiti guides children through fun and safe activities, gradually building upon their breathing, floating and movement skills; supporting and encouraging independence.

The Tamaiti program progresses from initial parental participation to children developing trust and learning through interacting independently with the teacher.

Tamaiti has five awards for children to progress through as they build confidence and develop new skills.

Tamariki

Designed for children aged 5 - 14 years, Tamariki is the Swimming and Water Safety component of the Swim Tangaroa program which has been around for over 30 years!

Tamariki is used to emphasise that the skills learnt in the program not only save lives but provide a foundation for participation in a range of aquatic recreation, fitness and sporting activities.

Swim Tangaroa Tamariki is a broad and balanced program teaching a range of skills and knowledge to develop swimming, water safety, survival and basic rescue skills.

With a vibrant look and an increased focus on stroke development, Tamariki encourages children to have a healthy respect for the aquatic environment.

Tamariki has three developing awards and seven core awards to progress through. The initial awards focus on the development of foundation skills with the higher awards building on endurance.
