Auckland Swimming League  

The new Auckland Swimming League established by Auckland Swimming Association (ASA) has seen a 300% increase in junior competitors this year.

August 2011
Established in 2010 as a result of a review of the practical constraints on swimming in the region, the league aims to increase participation and raise the league’s media profile.

The swimming league now has almost 2,500 members and over 80% of those fall into the younger and older age-groups, which are a priority for ASB Community Trust funding.

This makes ASA’s programme a good fit with the Trust’s priorities in the Recreation & Sport sector. The Trust supports organisations that focus on community participation and engagement in recreation. Targeted support is provided for those organisations that aim to increase participation by younger and older people.

A grant of $45,000 helped ASA with pool hire costs associated with running the Auckland Swimming League.
