Training Shedule

The Table below is for in term training times only. Times will alter during term breaks as we are able to secure training at NAC for some squads and introduce different start times to give the members a break from early morning starts and/or alternatives. However, these changes will be communicated directly to the members via other avenues and will not show here.

Training Facility

Phoenix Aquatics is proud to call the Northcote College Aquatic Center our home. Thanks to a strong partnership with Northcote College and NZL Swim, we have exclusive access to this facility — a rare privilege in a sport where pool space is limited.

With support from the school and generous club members, we’ve made significant improvements over the years, including upgraded starting blocks, improved seating, redecorated changing rooms, and a permanent covered dry-land training area. The pool itself has been resurfaced and repainted, and the school continues to maintain the filtration and heating systems to a high standard.

Looking ahead, we’re planning to replace the current semi-permanent pool cover with a sprung structure to provide even better year-round comfort for our swimmers.

If you would like to know more about this upgrade or how you can help please contact David See. 

Imagine the possibilities!
