South Island
Squad-swimming is the perfect way to learn new skills and improve your fitness. It is fun, motivating, and a great way to meet new people. You're all in the same boat, so to speak; so don't feel intimidated by the concept. You will be placed with a group of swimmers that are at the same level as yourself - all ages, and all shapes and sizes!
In Christchurch you have the chance to win one of five entries to the State Corsair Classic by training at the Councils Recreation & Sport Centres.
To make it easy for you, we have compiled details of the pool squads in your area. Please select your area of training from the list below.
We will be updating this page as new information comes to hand.
