Welcome to Hataitai Amateur Swimming Club
Hataitai Amateur Swimming Club has been a cornerstone of aquatic education in Wellington since 1908. As a dedicated swimming club, we specialise in learn-to-swim programmes designed for children aged 5 and above. Our approach is unique—rather than grouping by age, we allocate swimmers to groups based on their current ability in the water. This ensures every child, from complete beginners to more confident swimmers, receives the right level of instruction and support. Beginners must be able to stand comfortably in 1 metre of water to join, creating a safe and encouraging environment for all.
Located in the Heart of Wellington
Conveniently based in Mount Victoria, our swimming club serves families across the Wellington region. Nestled at 131 Austin Street, we’re easily accessible to local residents looking for quality swim education for their children. Wellington, known for its vibrant community and scenic beauty, provides the perfect backdrop for fostering a love of swimming. Whether you’re a local or new to the area, our club is a fantastic way to connect with others while helping your child develop essential water skills.
Why Choose Our Swimming Programmes?
Our learn-to-swim programmes are crafted to build confidence and competence in the water. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive atmosphere where children can thrive, regardless of their starting point. Each swimmer progresses at their own pace, with instructors focused on individual growth. We understand that every child is different, and our ability-based grouping ensures they’re challenged appropriately while feeling secure. For those just starting out, all we ask is that they can stand in 1 metre of water—a small step towards big achievements in swimming.
