← Back to Sports: Education Outside the Classroom

Swimming is a summer sport and tamariki compete in term one in the Non-Championship or Championship held at Dudley Pool.

Every year we hold our school swimming sports in Term 1. Tamariki in Years 5 and upwards who qualify in the Championship event, will then go on to compete on behalf of our kura school at the Pegasus Zones Athletics event, and those who are successful there will go on to compete at the Canterbury Zones.

Having said that, we feel it is important that all tamariki have the chance to compete and test themselves in a competitive event. With this in mind, our swimming sports also include a Non- Championship event with both the smaller 15m and the 25m pool being used. The races in the 15m pool are for swimmers that are not confident.

The kura activity top and jacket will be provided for the Zone or Canterbury events.
