The 2023 All Stars Zonal Secondary School Open Water Swimming Championships is held on 29 January 2023 in Oriental Bay (Wellington) and is a great opportunity for students to get involved in open water swimming held in conjunction with the Generation Homes Swim The Lighthouse, part of the popular Banana Boat NZ Ocean Swim Series. There are distances that cater for everyone, with the 500m and 1km swims for those interested in giving it a go or enjoy the shorter swim, and the 3.3km around the lighthouse for those more experienced. It’s also a great preparation for those swimming at the national event in Rotorua on 25 March.
