The Devonport Swim Club is a coached squad swimming club, based at the newly refurbished pool at Takapuna Grammar School, 10 Winscombe Street, Belmont. It was established in 1995 and used the Devonport Navy Base pool until 2021. The club does not teach people to swim. It trains them to become better swimmers, and all sessions are coached. Squads run from a youth fitness squad for 10-year-olds with a reasonable fitness level, through intermediate and teenage squads, to adult fitness and masters groups. Swimmers prepare for the club's pool and open water events held through the year.
Junior swimmers train on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. Youth swimmers pay $200 per term, across four terms a year (as at 2026). Adult squad places are usually full, but people can register to join a waitlist. Masters swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays year-round, from 6am to 7am and from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. Our pick in Belmont for coached squad swimming with decades of club training behind it.
