Sportsville is an exciting project for Hutt City launched earlier this year. The idea behind the initiative is to bring sports clubs together, in different locations across the city and encourage them to share ideas, resources, knowledge and skills. The aim is to create a number of sports villages or communities where it’s easier for clubs to attract new members, offer new programmes and assist with the worries of financial uncertainly.
SWIM CITY runs a Learn to Swim Programme for all ages, from six months of age through to older adults. If you want to learn to swim, receive stroke correction or be informed on important aspects of safety in and around the water, then this is the programme for you.
Exercising in water is fun and makes you feel young and vibrant! We offer a range of Liquid Fitness classes at our pool, click on the link to find out more about Liquid Fitness!
