NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER
TO THE NZ JET BOATING
COMMUNITY FOR OVER
50 YEARS
Megan
Woods
MP for Wigram
THUMBS UP: Nick Weir instructing young swimmers at Te Pou Toetoe:
Linwood Pool.
‘My passion is helping people’
• From page 1
“I was definitely inspired
by my years taking part in
lessons. The more kids enjoy
swimming lessons, the
more they learn and that
was the case for me.”
In his current role
he likes having the
opportunity to teach and
pass on the knowledge
that I’ve acquired to new
instructors.
“Giving them the necessary
skills to continue to
teach our rangatahi and to
continue give back to the
community an essential life
skill. My passion is helping
people and if I can do so by
continuing to help keep our
tamariki safe in the water
that to me is a job well
done,” he said.
“The Swimsmart
programme has a focus on
learning how to be safe in
and around the water. If
we can help kids become
confident and help prevent
drownings that is what’s
most important.”
But even now he never
misses an opportunity to
pop his togs on and jump
in the pool to help teach
the odd lesson.
“This job is something
that I absolutely love
and have loved watching
children and adults grow
in their confidence and
ability over the years,” he
said.
“There’s a real sense of
feeling like what we do has
a positive impact on the
community. Te Pou Toetoe
and our work is making
people’s lives better.”
Christchurch Recreation
and Sports Centres are
marking the 20 years of
Swimsmart by profiling
20 people who have
been involved in the
programme.
