About Our
Swimming School


Our value is to create an effective learning system and ensure our students enjoy their swimming classes while improving their skills.

Auckland Swimming School, Aqua Artist was founded in 2015 by Dai Jun, Bronze Medallist at the London Olympics 2012. He believes that learning to swim correctly and effectively requires good instructions alongside a certain amount of practice.

At Aqua Artist, we have brought two major changes to the industry: Dryland Training and Longer Class Duration. Dryland training allows students to learn the correct skills on dry land before they even get in the water. After the skill is learned on dry land, it’s time to practice the real skill in the water with a well-designed plan to create the correct muscle memories. This innovative approach revolutionizes traditional swimming lessons, enhancing the overall experience beyond the confines of the swimming pool.

Over the years, Aqua Artist Swimming School has built a very high reputation in the industry with its professional teaching system and good standard management. Our innovative teaching philosophy and effective teaching system have profoundly impacted over 5000 students. Swimming is not just a sport but a life skill that accompanies each individual in their lives. Additionally, our state-of-the-art facility boasts a heated pool, providing a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all swimmers.

Teaching

Join us at any one of our conveniently located swim schools at East Tamaki, Onehunga, or Mt Albert where all our instructors have been fully trained and highly motivated in our swim programmes! Our swim school offers classes with a limited number of students to ensure that you or your child receives maximum attention from the instructor. The classes are run by school terms and school holidays in duration from 30 – 60 minutes. Students will be assessed by the experienced Supervisors while they learn. As soon as they meet the criteria, they will be moved to the next level during the term.

Progress is never difficult to see in Aqua Artist!

My son has been learning at Aqua Artist for nearly two years. He started off as an absolute beginner, afraid of water but has progressed really well and is already learning the fourth stroke. Aqua Artist teaches at their own pace and with their own methods and requirements.
