UPDATE AS OF 5.11.24
December 2024 Temporary Closure over the Christmas period

In order to complete the final stage of our rebuild project, the Green Family Taradale Pool will be temporarily closing for swimming lessons from 7th December 2024. We do not have an opening date yet, but it is looking likely to be the start of February, in line with schools coming back for term 1 2025. This closure allows us to raise the water level, change the pump and filters, connect a balance tank and improve the water turnover, bringing the specs into the 2000’s! We have been waiting for this final stage and are very excited to be finally getting it done!

If your child is currently enrolled their booking will remain over the summer period, if you are looking to enrol your children for term 1 2025, please get in touch with us BEFORE 7 December so we can assess their swimming ability and put them on an appropriate waitlist for 2025.

As a family owned swim school it is our vision that everybody in our community learns to swim.

Dolphin Academy is the newest swim school to hit Napier. We opened our doors in February 2021 and are offering Learn to Swim classes and a schools programme to our community. We aim to be family focused, invested, responsive and child centric, ensuring we have trained instructors delivering a quality programme.

Our Programmes

We offer learn to swim classes Monday to Saturday and deliver the ‘Water Skills for Life’ programme to local schools during weekdays.

Bookings

bookings for Learn to Swim classes are available, please register your family through our booking system and send an email to us with your preferred days/times and the level you think your child is at and someone will be in touch with you soon to arrange an assessment.

Please help us to spread the word to your families, neighbours, colleagues and friends.
