About
Dolphin Academy Ltd, a family-run swim school in Napier, offers a pathway to becoming confident swimmers. Debbie, committed to teaching her community the art of swimming, has been leading Dolphin Academy since February 2021. It's not just about swimming; it’s about creating lifelong skills.
Debbie's swim school provides Learn to Swim classes from Monday to Saturday and runs the 'Water Skills for Life' programme in local schools during the week. Classes are ability-based, making sure each child progresses at their own pace. From beginners to more advanced levels, children build confidence and competence in the water.
Located at the Green Family Taradale Pool, near Taradale Primary School, Dolphin Academy is easy to get to. Debbie invites everyone to get involved—families, neighbours, friends—everyone’s welcome.
Booking a class is straightforward. Simply register your family, choose your preferred days and times, and specify your child’s swimming level. Debbie’s team will then arrange an assessment to ensure the right fit for your child. Assessments are quick, around 5 to 10 minutes, and give your child a chance to get comfortable in the water.
From pre-schoolers who are just starting out to older children looking to refine their skills, Dolphin Academy offers a structured, safe, and fun environment. Join Debbie and her team at Dolphin Academy today and take the first step towards becoming a confident lifelong swimmer.
