Thursday August 11 2022 5 From swimming lessons to instructor IN 2002, a five-year-old Nick Weir jumped into the pool at Pioneer Recreation and Sport Centre for one of the first ever Swimsmart lessons. Now marking the 20 years of the city council programme, Weir has gone from pupil to teacher as the swim education team leader at Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood Pool. “I remember it was such a fun environment when I was a kid. The mix of learning a valuable skill but not really realising it because it was so much fun,” he said. From five to 14-years-old, Weir was part of the Swimsmart programme and two years later he got his first job as an instructor. “I’ve navigated my way • From page 1 Rendall said the city council is having ongoing discussions with the old SaveMart building owner about this planned development. Donovan said some vacant buildings’ windows have had bricks thrown through them, while other buildings had been graffitied. He also said an elderly woman had fallen over in the car park area on Hawke St, trying to navigate her way around the through the ocean that is swim education, first and foremost being a swimmer, becoming an instructor, supervisor and then most recently becoming the team leader at Te Pou Toetoe,” Weir said. “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 potholes. “It’s absolutely shocking, I have no idea how they’ve gotten away with that, from a health and safety point of view it’s just dangerous.” Coastal Ward councillor Celeste Donovan said she’s lobbied to have the new rating scheme for vacant land in the central city applied to New Brighton. The rating scheme, approved by the city council in June, sees owners of empty central city 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 blocks pay more than four times the standard general rate, but only if there is no active or consented use being made of the land. “It’s really important that we don’t forget we have the same issues in suburban areas,” she said. “We need to use the same policy letters to encourage the right kinds of development in areas such as New Brighton that might 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. have suffered from a long history of land banking too.” She said the scheme is about encouraging developers and people that own the properties to “do the right thing”. Brian Donovan said landlords’ decision to not do anything with their buildings was further delaying the regeneration of New Brighton. “If you don’t want to sell, you TEACHER: Nick Weir began the Swimsmart lessons when he was five and is now teaching youngsters.

You know, it seems like the simple equation to me.” He said the future of New Brighton “depends” on these landlords to make a difference after “years and years” of these buildings sitting vacant. “They either play ball or just get out and if they don’t get out and we have to somehow find the matters to force them out, that’s the situation where it’s got to.” WHY YOU WILL ALWAYS COME BACK Over 30 boutique shops in 8 destinations visitwaimakariri.co.nz
