Swimming Pool Upgrades

Repair and Maintenance of the OBHS Swimming Pool.

In an era of shrinking education resources, the OBHS swimming pool remains one of our standout assets - setting the campus apart from many Otago high schools. This versatile facility supports everything from learning to swim and water safety, to kayaking skills and water polo training.

Recently, the pool underwent major upgrades, including a complete roof replacement, structural improvements, enhanced ventilation for year-round use, and refreshed changing rooms. These important improvements were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Otago Community Trust, the Lion Foundation, and the Alexander McMillan Trust.

With these upgrades now fully complete, the pool is more inviting and functional than ever. The new non-slip surfaces inside the pool and around its surrounds have been expertly installed, enhancing safety and usability. Thanks to the Foundation’s successful fundraising efforts, ongoing maintenance is well supported - ensuring this valuable resource will remain a vibrant hub for students for many years to come.
