Process for joining Napier Aquahawks Swim Club

After completing an assessment with a coach, new swimmers must fill out the membership form. Once the form is completed, there are a few more steps to take before your swimmer becomes an official member of the club and can start to train with the team.

• Competitive Swimmer - Swimmers who wish to compete for a club at all swim meets including Swimming New Zealand National Events or Regional Championships.
• Recreational Swimmer - Swimmers who are new to swimming and/or swim and train as recreation. Recreational Swimmers have the ability to enter local club nights and club championships through the SNZ online system.
