Water runs through the veins of our swimmers, with a lot of dedication and perseverance we take part in the Interhigh every year against schools like Hoërskool Warmbad, Piet Potgieter, Ellisras, Hans Strijdom, Nylstroom and Frikkie Meyer for the coveted title. After the Interhigh, we participate in the Top Schools swimming competition.

Interhouse:
Learners take part in their team color (green, white or yellow) - competition for the spirit and swimming cup.

Swimming is a very competitive sport and requires hard and dedicated exercise, and good preparation. Our competitive swimmers are some of our hardest working athletes who train a full 4 hours a day on average. At club level, our swimmers participate under the TUKS Swimming Club name where we are affiliated.
