Other Boland Schools
Many schools in the western cape have swimming pools, or use the town pool, and field teams at inter-schools galas. Most also have an annual inter-house gala, but lacking heated facilities, or a competent coach, their swimmers seldom make an impression at provincial level. As schools become commericlaised in South Africa, they build facilities to attract pupils, and thereby become more competitve.
Please find all the schools on the Map of South African aquatic sports.

The school in the resort town of Hermanus uses a municipal swimming pool at mount Pleasant and the local beach for surf lifesaving activities. The school benefits from the See en Sand program that has been teaching and running camps for surf lifesaving in Hermanus since 1971. Despite the school - and town - originating from the efforts of local Dutch farmers to evade the Anglicization policies of the British at the Cape, the school is today a dual medium Afrikaans and English school, changing to accomodate the demographics of the new South Africa. The Curro Hermanus is a new local private school is also a dual-medium school, which draws many of former Hermanus pupils.
