HAUORA
We recognise not all swimmers want to compete on a regular basis but still want to belong to the Club or Swim School and swim for any number of different reasons, such as remaining fit, competing in other water sports, enjoying the team environment, or purely enjoying swimming but having advanced beyond the Swim School levels.
The Hauroa squad is available to Waitaha squad members and also swimmers at CSS’s Level 11 and has 3 x 1 hour coached sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The cost is $125 per month. Swimmers can choose to attend any or all of these sessions – the price is the same. As this rate is an extremely competitive one no makeup sessions are provided for those missed. Fees will be invoiced monthly through Canterbury Swim School.
If you are interested in joining this squad, you can contact us through the website contact buttons, talk to your coach, or send us an email at info@canterburyswimschool.co.nz
Coach: Richard Pearson
We're really pleased to have Richard Pearson recently join our swim school team!
​
Richard is a Bronze-accredited coach with a wealth of coaching and swimming experience. Richard was a former competitive swimmer himself for 10 years, and until his recent move down here to the mainland, Richard was head coach for the Bay of Islands Swim Club, coaching swimmers to the NZ Junior Festival, NZ Div IIs, and NZ National Age Groups.
​
Richard’s approach to coaching is one where he strives to instill technique, drive motivation, and create a positive culture, and believes these are the foundations of success. Technical excellence, he says, takes time, patience, and constant practice.
​
Richard is part of the SNZ Coach TED mentorship program under the guidance of SNZ and Wayne Goldsmith, was part of the Northland Te Tai Tokerau High-Performance Coaching Programme, and has a degree in Biology part of which includes physiology, metabolism, and anatomy.

At Canterbury Swim School we have an absolutely fantastic team of coaches and teachers - it's really exciting for us to be able to provide our swim school students and the swim club with such a wealth of depth and experience!
