The AquaGym Facility was purpose built in 1988 by two of New Zealand's leading Elite Swim Coaches, Brett Naylor and Clive Power. Brett and Clive have for many years coached New Zealand Swim Teams to Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Championships. Brett represented New Zealand as a swimmer at Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Championships, before receiving a University Scholarship to swim and later coach while studying in the USA.

The AquaGym facility was designed to lead the way in Aquatic Education and competitive coaching in NewZealand. Since opening in 1988, AquaGym has placed a swimmer and coach on every New Zealand Olympic Team. We have sent swimmers to Commonwealth Games, Pan Pacifc Championsips, World Championships and proudly coached Anna Simcic to a World Record!


The Facility is now fully owned by Brett and Colleen Naylor and whilst the competitive swimmers are still showing their strength at all levels, an enormous amount of energy has been put in to our Learn to Swim programme. Brett is totally involved in the staff training of Tutors to ensure that our Teaching Team is the best in the country. Every child in our programme will be given the opportunity to not only be the best they can be in the pool, but to develop a life saving skill.

Swim for life !
