Dive in. Train hard. Excel together.

Our Swimming Program offers young athletes a high-performance environment in which to develop both their competitive skills and personal growth. As part of the Sports High Schools Association pathway, our swimmers have access to championship opportunities, elite coaching, and world-class facilities—all based right on our school grounds.

What makes our program unique

• Indoor pool facility located on campus, meaning easy access for scheduled TSP sessions and regular training without the commute.
• Full-equipment gym on site, allowing athletes to work on strength, conditioning, mobility and recovery multiple times each week—giving our swimmers a physical edge compared to many other programs.
• A strong partnership with the Sports High Schools Association and Swimming NSW for competitions, talent-identification, state-level meets and progression into national squads.
• Balanced development: athletes receive guidance not only in the pool, but also in strength & conditioning, sports psychology, nutrition and academic support to become well-rounded student-athletes.
