Aquinas College Water Polo Club

Aquinas College water polo has a strong following.  We have competitors at both year 7/8 and secondary school level.  The teams compete in a local competition either at the Windermere Aquatic Centre, or at Baywave Aquatic Centre.  We also compete in the North Island competitions, the NZ Secondary Schools Champs, and the NZ AIMS tournament for Year 7 and 8 students.

In 2014 we had five Aquinas players represent New Zealand, and in 2015 that number jumped to nine players over three age groups, playing and travelling internationally with NZ teams. In 2016 we have a number of players in NZ teams, attending NZ trainings and RTCs (regional training camps). A majority of our players also play for Tauranga Water Polo Club, representing the region at both nationals and Pan Pacific Games.
