Be water safe and learn to swim

The Team from Auckland Council

Water safety and swimming are key life skills everyone should learn, at any age. Auckland Council has nine swim schools across the region with affordable lessons. All our instructors are AUSTSWIM qualified.

With three beautiful harbours, more than 3000km of coastline and a few backyard swimming pools, Auckland is surrounded by water for you to swim, fish and play in. To enjoy everything Auckland has to offer, we need to know how to be safe and survive in and around water.

Make water safety a priority; find out more about swimming lessons at aucklandleisure.co.nz/activities/learn-to-swim. Our swim school at Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre is already full so make sure you get in quick! Learn more

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.

The festive season is upon us and as such our opening hours will look a little different over the coming weeks. This will give our team a chance to take a much-needed break and spend quality time with their whānau and friends.
We would like to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
