Swimming
Our school swimming programme continues to provide opportunities for students to challenge themselves, achieve personal bests and represent Ōtūmoetai College in the pool.
To give our swimmers the opportunity to compete alongside students from across the region, our school swimming competition will now be incorporated into the Bay of Plenty Secondary School Swimming Championships, held at Baywave. Students will still have the opportunity to compete for Ōtūmoetai College swimming trophies, with their results at the regional championships counting towards school awards.
All competitive swimmers are encouraged to enter the upcoming Bay of Plenty Secondary School Swimming Championships in 2027. Date TBC. Entries will be available via the Registration tab on this page or contact the Sports Office. sport@otc.school.nz
For further information or assistance with entries, please contact the Sports Office team.
