St Paul's Swimming Sports 2011
On Wednesday, 23rd March 2011, the St Paul’s annual Swimming Sports took place in the newly heated pool. The day was full of raucous support for those swimming, by their House mates and the enthusiasm and support shown by all in attendance was very pleasing to see and yet again reiterates the strength and the value of House competition.

St Paul's Collegiate School is the current Waikato Secondary Schools Boys' Champions. With a strong group of senior boys now graduated from the school the process of rebuilding the squad is well under way.
St Paul's welcomes Evan Wilson (Year 12, School House) to the squad. Evan has a very busy term ahead with the Australian Open Water Championships in February, the New Zealand Age Group Championships in March, followed by the Commonwealth Games trials in April.
Club swimmers continue their training schedules while others are training in the school pool, some before school, and others on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.
With Year 11 girls now attending St Paul's, the girls' squad has grown. This bodes well for this year's Waikato Championships. The school welcomes Charlotte Atherton (Year 12, Harington House) and Nicole Banks (Year 11, Harington House) to the squad.
The girls achieved a highly creditable ninth place at last year's championships and are working to improve that ranking with the support of Head of Swimming Megan Cowley.
