UP to 1,000 local youngsters will get the chance to learn to swim for free over the coming months. McLeod have collaborated with Bay Venues to bring swimming lessons to children three and under.

Bay Venues programme manager Tina Harris-Ririnui says generous support from McLeods means children aged three and under will get to benefit from a full term of free swimming lessons.



McLeod's managing director Scott McLeod says the programme sits nicely with the company's safety first philosophy, and on-going support for water-safety initiatives.

McLeod Group has been a major sponsor to NZ Swim Coaches and Teachers' Conference for the past three years, has supported national and local surf lifesaving endeavours for the past 20 years, and been swimming's major sponsor at the AIMS Games for the past three years.

Aquababes is also a good fit, he says, given his mother's key involvement in the New Zealand swimming and water safety scene.
