ABOUT THE SPORT: 

Aquinas College Water Polo has a strong following. We have competitors at Yr 7 & 8 and the secondary school level. The teams compete in a local competition either at the Windermere Aquatic Centre (Toi Ohomai), or the Baywave Aquatic Centre. We aim to compete in the North Island competitions and the NZ Aims Games Tournament for Year 7 and 8 students.
