A break in swimming lessons can cause a student to stagnant or even go backwards with their swimming ability…and we want our students to continue to improve. At our Havelock North location, our pool is indoor and the water is heated to a balmy 32 degrees – so it is nice and toasty and no standing in the rain!

At Hilton Brown Swimming we want to reward the families that swim with us during winter. If one person in your family swims and pays for lessons during the months of June, July and August you will go into the draw to win 3 months free swimming lessons (for September, October & November 2019) for your entire immediate family. There will be one winner drawn randomly and announced in August
