Swimming

Registered Swim New Zealand swimmers, who belong to and are training with a local swim club, can apply to have this sport considered as part of their school sport participation.

The College holds school swimming sports in Term 1, from which a team for the Canterbury Secondary Schools Championships is selected.

A team is also entered in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships. Transport and accommodation is organised in consultation with supporting parents. In addition, swimmers can compete and represent the College in open water events. Students chosen to represent New Zealand overseas can be awarded the College’s New Zealand Representative Sport Badge.

Please note swimming is not a regular weekly co-curricular option. Students who wish to participate in training and competitions need to belong to a local club.
