Excellence in Aquatics – going from Good to Great

Te piko o te māhuri, tērā te tupu o te rākau

The way a young sapling is nurtured determines how the tree will grow.

At Waves 2025, we'll explore how strong foundations help us move from Good to Great. We'll focus on setting standards, applying best practice, driving continuous improvement, and fostering creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We'll lay a wero / set a challenge for ourselves: How do we keep things simple while having the courage to do things different?
