In other news, the club noted that having reluctantly been forced to turn away many families wanting their children to learn to swim in past years, it has now begun campaigning to make the dream of having an indoor heated aquatic centre in Kaitaia a reality. To this end, the greater community was being encouraged to get behind the Te Hiku Community Aquatic and Recreational Centre Workgroup. Before the submissions to council closed yesterday, some of the club members were seen in the Pak'nSave foyer on Saturday handing out submissions, draft plans and reasons why Kaitaia township needed an indoor pool facility.
