March 2026 Newsletter
Active Attitude – March Newsletter
As we move into March, it has been wonderful seeing the energy, effort, and determination from our participants across all our programmes. Watching skills grow, confidence build, and friendships form is always the highlight of what we do.
Below are a few updates, reminders, and opportunities coming up...
Swimming Opportunities
We recently had a fantastic opportunity to host Scott Wilson from Swim People, who travelled from Christchurch to work with our team. Scott delivered professional development for our swim teachers, as well as swimming workshops for our swimmers.
We are also excited to share that we have established a partnership with the Whangarei Academy of Swimming to help create a pathway for swimmers who are ready to progress beyond our learn-to-swim programme.
From April, Coach Ashleigh will be running transition squads designed for swimmers who have achieved Level 4 and are ready to work towards Levels 5 to 6 of our swimming curriculum. These squads will run in a larger pool environment, allowing swimmers to further develop their technique and endurance, while also providing a pathway into club swimming, whether that is within a fitness squad or a competitive squad.
If this pathway may be of interest for your swimmer, please reach out to Ashleigh to learn more.
Looking After Our Space + Health and Safety Reminders
To help keep everyone safe and ensure our equipment stays in great condition for all children, we kindly ask families to help reinforce a few important reminders:
• Hair must be tied back during classes
• Please ensure your child brings a drink bottle
• Children should wear clothing without buckles, zips, or jewellery
• Children should not be on the equipment unless it is their scheduled class time
Annual Membership Reminder before 30th March Pricing Adjustment
As mentioned in the email sent last month, pricing adjustments will take effect from 30th March. If you have been considering purchasing an Annual Membership, now is the ideal time to do so before the new pricing comes into effect.
Our Annual Memberships offer families excellent value and locks in your family's membership loyalty rate for future years.
For many families who attend consistently throughout the year, it can be a great option for both convenience and value.
If you would like an Annual Membership quote for your family, please feel free to reach out: admin@activeattitude.co.nz
Also, we have recently added our Active FUNdamentals classes (Saturdays 9:30am to 10:15am and Sundays 3:30pm to 4:15pm) to our Under 5’s Package.
Holiday Club – Limited Memberships Available
We have recently moved our Holiday Programmes to a membership based model. This allows us to get to know the children in our care and tailor their holiday programme experiences around their interests and needs.
Holiday Club Memberships are ideal for parents who want:
• Consistency with their children’s holiday programme care
• A guaranteed space during the holidays, with hours from 8:00am to 5:30pm
• A programme focused on movement, creativity, confidence, and fun theme based days, where each day is different and exciting
One of the things that makes our Holiday Club special is that we limit numbers to just 30 memberships. This allows us to maintain an environment where children are well known to us and feel comfortable seeing familiar faces in their programme.
If Holiday Club is part of your plans for the year ahead, or if you have a child turning five soon and this is the type of care and experience you are looking for during the holidays, we encourage you to secure your membership before we reach capacity.
Further information about our Holiday Club can be found here. If you would like a Holiday Club membership for your child, please email admin@activeattitude.co.nz
Help Us Grow the Active Attitude Team
As Active Attitude continues to grow, we are always looking for great people to join our team as coaches, both in the gym and the pool. If you know someone who has a passion for working with children and enjoys sport, movement, and helping young people build confidence, we would love to hear from them. We are always happy to train and develop the right people into fantastic Active Attitude instructors.
We are also currently looking for a Customer Support and Administration team member.
Hours:
Monday to Thursday: 3:30pm to 5:45pm
Friday: 9:00am to 5:00pm
If someone comes to mind who would be a great fit for our team, please encourage them to get in touch.
Thank you for being part of the Active Attitude community. We truly appreciate the trust families place in us to support their children’s growth, confidence, and love of movement.
We look forward to seeing everyone in class.
The Active Attitude Team
