Wellington Swords Club is a fencing club in Brooklyn, Wellington, founded in 1932 and dedicated to the Olympic sport of fencing in the Wellington region. Its distinctive feature is the range of ages and levels in one club, from six year olds to masters and veterans. Fencers take up foil or épée, in group classes with individual lessons added for those who want to compete.
Training runs at Tanera Park in Brooklyn, with Saturday sessions at Rongotai College Hall. The classes include beginners, intermediate foil for ages 10 to 16, junior épée for ages 7 to 15, kids' classes for ages 6 to 10, and a women-only session called Slaydies Night. Competitive fencers train in poule and 15-point bouting, and there are épée development sessions for ages 11 to 17. The club also runs free bouting for its intermediate and senior fencers. Summer and school holiday hours can differ, and the club posts updates on its Facebook page.
The club is affiliated to Fencing New Zealand through Fencing Central, and anyone who wants to compete needs to affiliate first. Its coaches include a coach who joined from Australia with more than 20 years of fencing experience, and a foil and épée champion who has coached students to the highest levels. New fencers and onlookers are always welcome.
