Swimming
Introduction
Swimming at Auckland Grammar School consists of an internal annual School Swimming Sports (open to all students) and a competitive interschool season for competitive swimmers. The School’s top swimmers compete annually in the New Zealand Secondary School National Championships, run by Swimming New Zealand.
The School Swimming Sports were historically held off-campus, but have been held in the new outdoor pool since 2023.
