GPS Swimming

This is a dedicated student-only swim team, open to boys from Years 5 to 12 who demonstrate a commitment to training, teamwork and School spirit.

Season Overview

The GPS Swimming season begins in Term 1, with training commencing in Term 4 and continuing into Term 1. Students compete in Friday night pre-meets against other GPS schools to prepare for the highlight of the season – the GPS Swimming Championships held at the Sleeman Aquatic Centre in Brisbane during Week 6 of Term 1.

Selection and Pathways

Selections for the GPS squad are based on performance, attitude and commitment. The Junior and Senior House Swimming Carnivals play an important role in identifying student ability and potential for GPS representation. All students who show enthusiasm and a willingness to improve are encouraged to be involved.
