After two successful
terms 2009 Term 4 and 2010 Term 1 running outdoors, Fools Pools Swim School
re-opened in July 2010 with the main pool under cover inside a state of the
art, European designed enclosure. The
enclosure is fully insulated, as well as being fully retractable, allowing
the pool to be either indoor or outdoor depending on the season. These types of enclosures are used in
Europe in snow conditions, so are more than adequate for NZ conditions! Fools Pools Swim School is a
registered Quality Swim School with Swimming NZ. All our teachers go through training with
Swimming NZ or a similar education provider, as well as induction training at
Fools Pools. We aim to provide a
swimming environment that is both supportive and encouraging for our
students, where achievable challenges are set so that students gain a real
sense of achievement from their efforts.
Our mission is to continue to raise the level of swimming competency
in the Muriwai community and surrounding areas. We encourage you to use this
facility, and to respect it! We
believe that everyone has the right to learn to swim and to enjoy the
water. Use it for your own fitness,
strength and rehabilitation programs. Come to swimming lessons here if you
would like to learn to swim or to increase your skill in the water, or just
enjoy the pools for your own peace of mind and wellbeing. This facility is also an ACC registered
vendor for hydro-therapy (water rehabilitation
programs), so get a referral from your doctor or physiotherapist if you
require water rehabilitation services covered by ACC. Since Oct 2014 we have been running our main pool
using Enviroswim technology. Its really like swimming in pure tap water
fantastic for your health, swimming togs last longer, and it feels
amazing! It provides the best user
experience and is a healthy, clean and pure way to bathe and relax. Opposed
to traditional chlorine pools it does not attack the skin, worsen allergies,
cause asthma or rot pool clothing, and it is also gentler on the pool's shell and surrounding
landscape. It also ticks all the environmental boxes by reducing chemical
usage, consuming less power and enabling the recycling of pool water and
backwash without dilution. More information on Enviroswim
