Little Makos Swim School

23/04/2026

Hi team, it has been a massive and devastating week for the Berhampore Community.
For those that would like to contribute Berhampore School is opening up contributions to the wider community. Baking donations can be dropped off between 9 and 10am Saturday and Sunday to Little Makos Swim School and parent volunteers will distribute from late morning.
Please drop baking in disposable containers (or tupperware you don't need back) ideally with any allergens listed. Donations of paper plates also greatly appreciated.

We are also opening for our usual free community swim on Sunday from 1.30-4.00pm for any members of the community that would appreciate a swim this long weekend.

Due to the severe weather event we are experiencing in Wellington, our Little Makos Swim School classes are cancelled this afternoon. We hope that everyone stays safe out there.

This is just such an interesting and amazing world leading piece of research that has come out of Australia. Such incredible results for children under 5 in hitting their developmental and cognitive milestones, this shows how swimming lessons can offer so much more than just water safety.

Some studies have shown not only is swimming great exercise and an essential safety and lifesaving skill, swimming can also positively impact a child cognitively, emotionally, and socially.

Classes at Little Makos are on today at both facilities! See you there!
