Tā tātou atarua – Our vision
Enabling what matters
Aquatics Horowhenua opened its doors in 1990 and since then it has been continuously growing and expanding. We offer a variety of activities such as learn to swim, aquacise, fitness training, swim and water sports clubs as well as recreational water fun including inflatables and the hydro slide. It’s easy to understand why our facilities are so popular.

Swimming is a crucial lifesaving skill, and we are proud to deliver swim-precisive swimming and water safety lessons to our community. Proficiency in Te Reo Māori and/or NZSL would be highly regarded. We teach people of all ages and abilities and work closely with our local schools and sports clubs to support the growth and capability in this area.
