Welcome to Pukekohe Swimming Club

ABOUT PSC

Pukekohe Swimming Club is a local swimming club offering a competitive pathway for training developing swimmers through to high performance programmes.

Every swimmer is given the assistance required to fulfil their potential, regardless of their level of attainment.

We have several high performance swimmers who have represented New Zealand as well competed at many National Swimming Championships, and individually our swimmers have also won International and National Titles in the Swimming Pool and Open Water events at both a junior and senior level.

Through the structure of the club programmes we will enable the swimmer to reach their own personal goals, be it fitness, learning to dive, or reaching national level competitions. We will coach through the basic fundamentals of swimming, developing a life long love of the sport. Focusing on good technique from an early age will help us develop national swimmers of an exceptional standard.

Developing a life-long love of the sport is what we strive for with the kids. We focus hard on good technique from an early age which helps us develop national swimmers of an exceptional standard. Here at Pukekohe, swimming fosters social skills necessary for life. Organisation, communication, goal setting, planning, time management, interaction, dealing with pressure, adapting to characters around you etc. And we believe that the young people that persevere with this sport are well-rounded and successful individual’s latter on in life. ​​​​​​​

Pukekohe Swimming Club expects three things from our swimmers which is Participation, Respect and Clean Sport. We expect our swimmers to attend practices (as per the guidelines the coaches set out) and to represent their team at swim meets.  We also expect our swimmers to treat their passionate coaches and fellow supportive team mates and other team’s swimmers with the utmost respect in and out of the pool.  Thus, creating an environment that brings the best out in our swimmers, and brings success to Pukekohe Swimming Club.
