THE POOL
Feedback from the Grammar community and a $1 million contribution from a donor passionate about seeing a multi-use pool facility at the School has seen the evolution of the project to incorporate a new heated swimming pool.
Located on the lower field between the tennis courts and the Lower Pavilion, the pool will provide a critically needed water polo and swimming facility for our young men and the community.
- 25m x 30m outdoor pool
- Depth (2m) allows for swimming and water polo competitions
- 5m wide shallow zone (1.2m deep) for learn to swim Physical Education classes
- All water polo teams train and play at home
- Swimming training and competition facility, School swimming sports day held on campus
- Premier sports recovery and high performance facility

WHY DO WE NEED THE NEW POOL ?
The current pool is deteriorating and no longer caters to the needs of our young men.
- Not fit for water polo trainings or games
- Not fit for swimming training or competition
- Past its use by date
- Currently the School's water polo teams train at other facilities at considerable cost. This new facility will enable teams to train before and after School – at reduced cost
- This new pool will provide an urgently needed facility for the School and the wider Auckland community. All water polo pools in the region are at 100% capacity
- Presently, swimming sports are held offsite with restrictions on the number of students competing. This facility will bring them back to the School and add profile and support for these events
- Grammar teams will for the first time ever, be able to hold home matches in a venue they are proud of
- It will be a game changer for water polo and swimming at the School.
