Here at Swim-Able NZ, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience enjoyment in the water. That’s why we’re on a mission to make participation in swimming, and other watersports, accessible for all.

Through one-on-one lessons and group coaching sessions, we enable people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to build their skills and confidence in the water.

As a Charitable Trust, community and inclusion are at the heart of what we do – which is why we cater our services to a wide variety of people, with a particular focus on supporting adult swimmers, and those with unique support requirements.

So, whether you would like to learn how to swim, need some help developing your skills or water safety knowledge, or are keen to enhance your form ahead of a triathlon or other athletic event, Swim-Able is here to help.

Today, Swim-Able is a Charitable Trust that has helped hundreds of Rotorua locals find their own love for swimming.

As a Swim Angelfish Approved Instructor, one of Swim-Able’s specialisations is on providing swimming lessons for people with unique support requirements.

One of Max’s inspiring students is Nikayla Wood. Living with Cerebral Palsy, Nikayla never dreamed she’d be a competitive swimmer or triathlete. But, with Max’s support, she’s been able to compete in two Huka XStream events, the Women’s Generation Homes Triathlon, the 500m Blue Lake Swim, the Blue Lake Multi-Festival Triathlon, and as a Team Biker in Tinman Triathlon.

Shyla-Mei Corbett – another of Max’s students, who also has cerebral palsy, has competed in the Huka XStream, and the Women’s Generation Homes Triathlon.
