Swim during winter and win!
Swimming lessons during winter are key for your children to be able to enjoy their kiwi summers to the fullest. 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. All of our pools are 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 is one winner for each of our seven locations and they will be informed in August.

So we want to hear what you think:

58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
