Learn to Swim

At EVO, we understand the importance of local, quality and competitively-priced options in the Learn to Swim space.  

Unlike most programmes, however, Evolution Aquatics's Learn to Swim programme is community-led and not-for-profit.  All proceeds from our programme are returned to the swimming club to help support all Evolution Aquatic members, no matter their swimming goals.

Evolution Aquatics is committed to raising water safety within our community.  Swimming and water safety skills are essential with the beach and harbour-based lifestyle on offer in Tauranga Moana.  At EVO, Learn to Swim members are assisted to be able to participate confidently, competently, and safely in the aquatic activities they enjoy. 

Our Learn to Swim lessons are available Monday to Thursday from around 4pm all year round at the Otumoetai pool.

Come and join us!

Free Swimming Assessment

New Learn to Swim members are required to have a free swimming assessment to ensure that they are placed at the correct level for their current skill set.

Assessments are conducted at the Ōtūmoetai Pool and take approximately 10 minutes. Please note - levels are based on ability, not age.

To book your assessment, please email evo4swim@gmail.com

Please note we will no longer be running beginner Learn to Swim lessons from 2025.  We will be running levels 3 and 4 which will both operate out of the big pool at Otumoetai.
