The St Stithians College Aquatic Centre offers the Boys’ College swimmers access to a world class training and gala venue as well as the dedicated attention and expertise of national and provincial level coaches.

We facilitate swimmers of all skill levels as is evident from the successes we attain in the Learn to Swim program and the accolades that some of our top swimmers annually achieve at provincial, national and international competitions.

Our training sessions in the heated 25m pool or the Olympic size 50m pool are scheduled for early mornings during the summer sport season to allow the students to also play water polo in the afternoons as these aquatic sports are mutually beneficial for the general physical and mental development of developing young men.  

Bi-annually we take part in the main event at the Midmar Mile at the Midmar dam. Whenever we compete in this world renowned open water event a good number of our students of various ages finish in the top 100 positions in the field of around 1300+ swimmers.

We look forward to meeting interested swimmers and their parents at the Aquatic Centre as we see this sport not only as a necessary life skill, a socializing opportunity or an opportunity to compete at the highest levels of the sport, but also an opportunity to gain access to local and international tertiary institutions based on a swimmer’s achievements.
