Kings Swim School
03 341 7579
Kings Swim School is a purpose-built pool facility dedicated to providing high-quality swimming education for students in Christchurch.
As a privately owned and operated swim school with our own facility, we ensure our school group bookings have sole access to the main pool during their lessons with our instructors. Changing rooms and pool facilities are not open to the public.
Our curriculum caters to a wide range of abilities, from beginners to advanced mini squads, ensuring that each child is challenged and engaged in their school swimming lessons.
We prioritise a safe and supportive environment, allowing students to build confidence and develop their skills at their own pace. With experienced instructors and a focus on individual progress, we are committed to helping every swimmer reach their full potential.
Personalised Assessments
Before students start their lessons, we send a questionnaire to parents to gather essential information, helping us place each child in the right class for their skill level.
Small Class Sizes
We prioritise quality instruction by keeping class sizes small, allowing for personalised attention from our experienced instructors. During the first two days, whilst teaching we conduct our own assessments to confirm placement and make adjustments as needed.
Private Facility
Our facility is private and not open to the public during school swimming lessons. We focus exclusively on our students' needs and safety.
Please note: our regular week day babies/pre-school sessions will continue as scheduled.
Low Chlorine Levels
Our Kings pool features lower chlorine levels compared to other pools, thanks to our UV filtration systems. This is especially beneficial for children with sensitive skin and skin conditions, providing a more comfortable swimming experience.
Large Changing Rooms
We offer spacious changing rooms that can comfortably accommodate full classes, making it easy for parents or teachers to assist children. Each large changing room includes showers and toilets for rinsing off after swimming. Additionally, we have private changing rooms available for those who require them.
Advanced Training Opportunities
For students who demonstrate higher skill levels, we create mini squads that provide specialised training to help them excel further.
Modern Facility
Our new, fit-for-purpose swimming facility features ample seating for families and spectators.
Convenient Access
We offer easy bus access and parking, with designated drop-off and pick-up areas located right at the front door. We also have a wheelchair access ramp into the main pool.
Competitive Lesson Rates
We pride ourselves on offering affordable lesson rates, making quality swimming education accessible to all families.
Kings Swim School Pool
After 30 years of operation, and having outgrown our first pools in Aidanfield and Upper Riccarton, we required a high performance, cost effective solution to enable us to keep up with demand for our learn to swim classes.
We chose an innovative solution for our new pools, using new construction technology including New Zealand’s first fully enclosed sprung structure, a high-performance tensioned membrane system with a high level of thermal insulation, brought in from North America.
