Splashers Swimming Academy

Splashers Swimming Academy is a renowned swimming school located in Rugeley, New Zealand. With a focus on providing a safe and happy environment, the academy is committed to meeting the needs of all individuals.

Splashers Swimming Academy was established in 1995 at Netherstowe with the aim of offering a different approach to swimming lessons. Recognising the importance of good technique, the academy strives to ensure that swimmers develop proper skills from the beginning. By mastering technique on short distances, swimmers can achieve maximum propulsion and minimise resistance, enabling them to excel in swimming with speed and distance. Swimming is a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed at any age, making it a crucial life skill.

At Splashers, the academy believes in balancing fun with safety and respect for water. Children are taught how to enjoy water while also learning how to stay safe and protect themselves and others in and around water. This knowledge instils confidence and ensures a positive swimming experience.

Splashers Swimming Academy offers a variety of classes for all ages and abilities. Whether a beginner or a competitive swimmer, there is a class suitable for everyone. The academy proudly holds the Swim England Core stages 1-7 awards, as well as competitive swimming awards for ages 8-10.

The academy keeps its students and parents informed through a notice board, sharing news and updates. It recently shared positive news regarding the expected reopening of the pool at Netherstowe School in 2024. This development is eagerly awaited, and the academy hopes to resume classes before the summer holidays.
