Swimming is an important part of sport at Union High School, and every learner has the opportunity to participate in afternoon coaching sessions. Our programme focuses on developing strong fundamentals, water confidence and fitness, while also providing a pathway for competitive swimmers.
Our junior and senior swimmers regularly compete in Karoo galas as well as events in Gqeberha and Uitenhage, consistently producing strong results and proudly representing our school.
With committed coaches and a focus on participation and performance, swimming at Union continues to grow from strength to strength.
