Swim during winter and win!

Hilton Brown Swimming

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

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
