Our club members have a range of swimming abilities and goals. Most swim for fitness, fun and to socialise with other swimmers, while others train to compete in New Zealand Masters sanctioned meets or for endurance events such as triathlons, ocean swims and ironman.

Huia Masters Swimmers Club was formed in 1982 so 2023 was our 40th anniversary. Take a look at this insightful history created for our 30th Anniversary.
