Ngāruahine swim like a fish graduation

In May this year whānau members attended a graduation celebration for the highly successful ‘Swim Like a Fish’ programme, at Aotearoa Marae.

The initiative, developed by Te Korowai, saw 132 graduates proudly receive certificates and their very own limited edition Ngāruahine swimming cap.

Guest speaker Lisa Tamati (Te Atiawa), ultra-marathon runner and author, talked about her journey, the power of setting goals and going for it.

Congratulations to all our graduates and your whānau tautoko for making this amazing programme so successful.

A special mihi to Rob and Beth Lowe of the CamLow Swimming School for supporting this kaupapa and our people.

We also recognise the tautoko we received from our other partners and supporters; PKW Trust, Sport Taranaki, Te Puni Kōkiri, Howie Tamati, Marina Healey, Roena Ruakere-Te Uira and Kendyl Fake.

Kore e mutu te mihi kia koutou kātoa.
