A swim school on Church Street in Onehunga, one of the Aqua Artist swim schools, and the nearest to the Onehunga waterfront. It teaches children from preschool age through to adults, in small classes, with a heated pool. The school uses dryland training, practising the strokes on land before getting in the water, and it runs longer class times, so each session has more practice time.
The school offers a free assessment for new swimmers, which places them in a programme for their age and skill level. Head coach Jun Dai leads the step-by-step programme. Aqua Artist is also listed at East Tāmaki and Mt Albert, and the school says it has taught more than 5,000 students across its schools.
The school is at 37 Church Street in Onehunga. Our pick in Onehunga for a child who is starting to learn to swim.
