Dean Greenwood Swimschool started in 1995 at the Mt Eden Swimming Pool, in central Auckland. The swimschool now operates from Kelston Girls College Pool, Kelston, and New Windsor School Pool, New Windsor. Over the years, the swim school has developed a progressive swimming programme enabling swimmers as young as 6 months to develop up to competitive level, if they wish.

Swim school pathways progress through from parent-child classes to pre-school, beginner, advanced-beginner, breather, advanced-breather, advanced, stroke classes, mini squads and either non-competitive swimming groups or competitive swimming teams.

The swimschool has been working with schools for the last ten years and in that time have developed a comprehensive aquatic program that pupils do find challenging, exciting and fun.

We understand that Schools are required to work towards the general aims of the education curriculum and our programs have been developed to incorporate as much of the curriculum as possible.

The Dean Greenwood Swimschool is a division of Greenwoods Aquatic Enterprises Ltd which also provides pool management services at a number of locations in Auckland. These services include, full water treatment and staff training and management.

Also available at some locations, full range of swimming accessories.
