Swimming is for Everyone
Swimming is a life skill, no matter your ability or whether you live with a disability or impairment. At HBPB Swimming, we believe swimming should be accessible to everyone, and we want to see more people in the water, more often.
There are many ways to get involved — from recreational swimming to club and competitive programs. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability. Those with a disability can start swimming or even begin the journey toward competitive swimming without needing to be classified in the disability swimming space.
HBPB Swimming, in partnership with Swimming New Zealand and Disability Sport Hawke’s Bay, run Disability Clinics and Meets at least once a year, in Hawke’s Bay,. Our Gisborne clubs also offer opportunities. You don’t necessarily need to be a club member or already involved in swimming — everyone is welcome, whatever your skill level.
Swimming New Zealand also offers a Disability Fund to help reduce barriers to participation and connect local expertise with participants and their swim schools, ensuring a positive aquatic experience from the start. This funding is available for anyone aged 6–24 years.
