Dr Terina Raureti

Building on her postgraduate studies on Māori water safety, Terina Raureti decided that for her PhD “to be authentic to who I am and of benefit to my community, I needed to be at home doing it with my own whānau, in our own river and waterway”.
The mahi was undertaken with her whānau of Ngāti Kapu in Ōtaki, and the Karitāne whānau, where she developed a model, Kauora, for understanding swimming from a whānau Māori perspective.
“The aims of this research were to understand how whānau practice and perceive swimming and its contribution to whānau health and well-being, and to create a swimming initiative that satisfies the needs of our whānau and wider iwi Māori,” Terina explains. The overarching vision of reengaging with swimming from a whānau lens is ultimately to help strengthen connection to wai to flourish hauora, and help to reduce drowning statistics.
