We are Wellington’s LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Takatāpui, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and others) swimming club, and we welcome everyone (LGBTQIA+ or otherwise, including all orientations and gender identities).
You should be able to swim 25m unaided, but otherwise you’re welcome no matter what your speed or level of experience.
Swimmers under 16 need to be accompanied by an adult (18+)

New swimmers and visitors to Wellington are always very welcome!

Our normal swimming session schedule (days, locations and times) restarts in February

Initially access to the Aquadome on Thursdays may be via the upper route – if you find the regular driveway blocked then see the bottom of the “Swim with us” page for a map showing access.
