This is a one off event. It is not a 'have a go day'.
This event is open to all students.
However, please note that your child must be confident in the water and be able to swim 50m without stopping.
Students will be able to choose which events they would like to compete in at registration. This may be freestyle - 5om and 100m, butterfly, breast stroke, or backstroke.

Trials
The NX swim meet is designed to have those who are competitive swimmers compete against each other.
The top swimmers from this event will make our NX Swim Team who will compete at the NH Zone Day and possibly the wider Auckland Championships.
If your child's class is attending the Y8 camp on NH zone date - we will discuss this with you at the time.
Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
