About Us

Train with us

We train at Jellie Park, which is one of the biggest and best Christchurch sporting and recreation facilities. The pool complex is located at 295 Ilam Road, Burnside, not far from the University of Canterbury and the Christchurch Airport. Parking is easy and we welcome new members.

Our Tuesday session uses 6 lanes and Sundays 7 lanes of the indoor sport pool with people allocated to lanes according to ability and fitness. Tuesday training is from 6-7pm; Sunday training is from 9-10am. Over summer the Sunday session is held in the outdoor 50m pool and over winter we are often at Graham Condon pool due to events happening at Jellie Park.

We do cater for a wide range of abilities. Our coach, Matt Nash, provides a programme for all to follow with some technique help as necessary. The lower lanes are generally for those who are comfortable with at least three strokes but need additional stroke correction and the top lanes for those who have a competitive background and/or will generally be competing at regional or national level.

We offer two trial sessions before asking you if you would like to join the club and you are welcome to join either our Tuesday or Sunday sessions (or one of each) to check the club out. We have a mixture of members that are swimming for fitness, some who are ex-competitive swimmers and some who are mainly strengthening their technique. 

Swimming in a squad is enjoyable, improves fitness and is ultimately good for your health. 

Social activities

A social drink follows every Tuesday night swim session, currently at Misceos.

On Sundays a large number of swimmers stay for a coffee at the Jellie Park Red Cafe.

The club organizes a couple of social events each year, e.g. weekends away, morning tea/bbqs and all members and families are welcome.
