North
Shore has been the top club in New Zealand based on points since
1995.
North Shore Swimming has a massive history. Starting in 1897 as
Cheltenham Swimming, after World War I it amalgamated with the then
Devonport Swimming Club to become the North Shore Swimming Club
in the early 1920's. Our club is over 100 years old!!
Since its inception NSS has put over 30 swimmers onto Olympic, World
Championship and Commonwealth Teams. The immense growth of NSS swimming
is highlighted by the fact that 20 swimmers have made one of these
esteemed teams since the year 2000 and in 2005 NSS put 13 swimmers
onto the most successful New Zealand World Championship team ever.
Every year since 2000 the greatest percentage of New Zealand
representatives comes from the mighty North Shore team setting
the club firmly at the forefront of New Zealand swimming. It is
fitting that North Shore Swimming now operates out of the Millennium
Institute of Sport and Health, in Mairangi Bay, Auckland.
Completed in February 2002 the $32 million Millennium Institute
of Sport & Health has been privately funded and led by New
Zealand businessman Graeme Avery. The institute was established
to help New Zealanders excel in sport and to contribute to a healthier
nation. It is a world class integrated environment for the achievement
of excellence in sports performance and in personal health, recreation
and fitness.
Our Squads now train at the Takapuna Aquatic Centre, Northcote
College, Glenn Innes YMCA and the Millennium Institute. In conjunction
with the Millennium Institute Swim School, North Shore Swimming
has a pathway from 'Learn to Swim' right through to 'International
World Class Athlete'.
With 400 current members, North Shore Swimming Club has a unique
progression system providing ongoing success in both skill and
performance. The journey of a swimmer to a high powered athlete
is an enjoyable and productive journey which helps to develop
our young men and women into great citizens of the future.
North Shore is all about being a competitive swimmer and enjoying
it!
Always has been. Always will be!
