In 2019, John Paul College entered into a three-way contracted arrangement with Absolute Aquatics and Southside Aquatics to manage the JPC Aquatics Program and host our aquatics program in the local competitive club competition. The Head Coach for the JPC Aquatics Program is Lachlan Staples of Absolute Aquatics.
Absolute Aquatics operates out of our state-of-the-art Stephen Paul Aquatic Centre which boasts a ten-lane, 25 metre heated swimming pool, change-room facilities, a marshalling area and a 50-seat function room.
The JPC Aquatics Program includes a Learn to Swim school, squad training for competitive swimmers, and co-curricular training sessions for The Associated Schools (TAS) and Junior TAS (JTAS) inter-school competitions.
The JPC Aquatics Program builds a friendly and fun atmosphere, offers a pathway into school competition and club swimming, and provides the opportunity to improve and achieve personal growth through the discipline and fun of swimming.
