Swimming and Positive Health

Water is an essential part of the Kiwi identity and our students spend a lot of time at the beach, fishing off the rocks, sailing, kayaking, swimming and other water activities. Swimming lessons are a great way to teach our students how to stay safe in and around water. 

Research shows that regular exercise has lots of health benefits for children, such as:

• improving fitness
• providing an opportunity to socialise
• increasing concentration
• improving learning
• building a stronger heart, bones and healthier muscles
• encouraging healthy growth and development
• improving self-esteem
• improving posture and balance
• lowering stress
• encouraging a better night's sleep
