- Sports science services such as computerized technique analysis from flume or pool footage, nutrition and mental skills lectures, workshops, one-on-one consultations and regular performance and blood testing.
- Opportunities to compete both here in New Zealand and overseas gaining invaluable competitive exposure but also life skills and cultural experience/understanding.
- Fundraising efforts dedicated to those events and activities which enhance a competitive swimmer’s ability to perform.
