L.J. Hole & Associates

L.J. Hole & Associates Les is a New Zealander, experienced as a consultant in marketing, design, project analysis, project and general management, across a variety of industries.

His career initially moved through multi-national corporate ranks as production manager, into sales management, then marketing & general management. Les translated his early experience into some 12 years operating his own cadd equipped design & project management company operating nationally in the commercial development market, which met with considerable success over a wide range of projects & a

large variety of multi-national & governmental clients. Early sporting activities centred on competitive cycling & an Outward Bound winter training experience, which included tramping & climbing. This interest continued on his arrival in NZ in '66. Recent years have also seen Les become a successful swimmer, competing at local, regional & national levels in the Master (Veterans) Swimming program. His interest in youth training, developed from his own early experiences as a printing apprentice, has seen his implementation of successful cadet training schemes for many of the companies he has worked with. This interest continued with his heading the Rotary and NZ Police (Upper Hutt) Blue Light Project for the training & development of senior student leaders, utilising the facilities & expertise of the Outdoor Pursuits Centre, in Turangi. This project still continues on an annual basis. Les moved to Auckland with Tricia his wife of 34 years, in November 2001 with the objective of developing further business opportunities & recognising it was time for a change! They now spend any spare time visiting their three sons & families (of whom they are rightfully very proud) in various parts of NZ, combining family time with business development & the very real joy of traveling around our beautiful country.

Recognise the following, but check out the underlining facts, as they will assist you with your own child safe home pool decision!

Child home pool drownings are rising — now averaging 5.6 children every year. DrownbaseNZ no longer reports the contributing causes, but historic data shows the same pattern we’ve seen for decades: unsupervised access from the house to the pool is the critical risk.
And here’s the fact that matters most:

👉 In 21 years, there has never been a single child drowning in a home pool protected by a Swish modified door-set.
Yet some BCAs still push factually unsupported interpretations of Parliament’s 2017 legislation — breaching Sections 18 & 19 of the Building Act and misleading homeowners into thinking fencing between house and pool is the only option.

Swish continues to stand for legislative truth, homeowner choice, and child safety. Discover this for yourselves at www.swishautomation.com & visit the Swish in Brief page

As reported 25/07/26 Drownbase NZ, appear to no longer report contributing factors to child drownings in the home pool! Is that because the increase in drownings reported since 2018, doesn't fit the narrative, available from BCA's & MBIE? Swish meanwhile report that since 2005, when Swish modified d...
