Northern Arena| Swim School & Family Activities

Award-Winning Swim School & Family Activities on the Hibiscus Coast

Learning how to swim and survive is a key life skill in which you should invest in for yourself and your family and you can equip your children with skills for life at Northern Arena's premier swim school in Silverdale. Living in New Zealand, water safety is essential, and our dedicated, warm-water teaching pools provide the perfect environment for children to build water confidence and learn to swim safely.

With swimming classes for the little ones of the family from Water Babies (2-6 months) up to Penguin (5+ years) and swim classes for 13+ years including SurfFit for teens, Adult Learn to Swim and  SwimFit there is something for everyone.
