Section 4 – <strong>SNZ</strong> today<br />
The <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Swim Coaches and Teachers Association is an Incorporated Society promoting and<br />
fostering excellence in swim coaching and teaching in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>. It is dedicated to creating opportunities<br />
for swim coaches and teachers to enhance their knowledge and levels of expertise. The organisation is run<br />
by swim coaches and teachers for swim coaches and teachers. Currently only approximately 120 of the over<br />
500 coaches are members. This is reportedly due to the perceived limited value and processes associated<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> Swim Coaches and Teachers Association has aspirations to play a greater role to support the<br />
development and growth of swimming in the future. Opportunity exists for <strong>SNZ</strong> and the Association to work<br />
more closely together but no formal operational relationship exists at this time.<br />
4.8 RELATED ORGANISATIONS<br />
<br />
Synchronised <strong>Swimming</strong> and Water Polo. These all have their own independent organisations and see<br />
themselves as catering for different groups and needs compared to <strong>SNZ</strong>. There is no appetite within these<br />
<br />
of which are willing to consider partnering with <strong>SNZ</strong> to achieve their mutual aims. However to date this has<br />
happened with limited success, with disagreements occurring regarding roles and funding/sponsorship.<br />
<br />
(convened by ACC), Water Safety NZ and Water Safe Auckland. The relationship between Water Safety<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong> and <strong>SNZ</strong> is completely dysfunctional with duplication of service provision and competition for<br />
funding occurring.<br />
