With a strong community focus, Omanu Swim Club caters to athletes of all ages and abilities.
Omanu Swim Club is closely aligned and very much a part of the Omanu Beach Surf Lifesaving Club. The goals, values and people are the same and our swim club is there to benefit and support our members (nippers, lifeguards, and competitors) from general fitness to specialised training programmes, and we welcome masters, novice and advanced swimmers from the local community to come and swim with us.
If you have any questions or concerns at all please contact in the first instance [email protected]. Further information on Omanu Swim Club including latest news can be found here.
