We are delighted to announce that Nunawading Aqua Power (Nuna Aqua Power) officially launched at the Ivanhoe Girls’ Aquatic Centre on 1 July 2026, bringing one of Australia’s most successful swimming programs directly into our school environment.

This exciting partnership strengthens Ivanhoe Girls’ commitment to providing exceptional sporting opportunities and high-performance pathways for students. Students and families can now access elite swimming coaching and development opportunities onsite, making it easier than ever to balance academic success with sporting ambitions.

A Partnership Built on Success

Based at the Ivanhoe Girls’ Aquatic Centre, students have access to the expertise, culture, and performance standards of Nunawading Swimming Club, Victoria’s number one swim club and one of Australia’s top six.

With a proven track record of developing swimmers at every level, from emerging athletes to national competitors, Nunawading is recognised as a leader in swimming excellence.

A Complete Swimming Pathway

The launch of Nuna Aqua Power creates a seamless pathway for swimmers within the Ivanhoe Girls’ Aquatics Program. Whether a student is learning fundamental skills, swimming for fitness, or pursuing competitive goals, the program supports swimmers at every stage of their journey.

Nuna Aqua Power is committed to helping swimmers achieve their personal goals, whether that means qualifying for State and National Championships, improving fitness and technique, or simply striving for personal bests in a supportive and encouraging environment.

The Club caters to a broad range of ages, stages, and abilities, with a strong focus on helping members develop a lifelong relationship with swimming.

Convenience Meets High Performance

One of the unique benefits of this partnership is the ability for students to train where they learn. With before-school, after-school, and Saturday morning squad training sessions available, swimmers can access structured, high-quality training without the need to travel between venues.

Programs include:

• Squad training across multiple levels
• Dryland and gym-based development sessions
• Before-school, after-school, and Saturday morning training options
• School holiday swimming programs

This integrated approach allows students to pursue their sporting ambitions while maintaining balance with their academic commitments and broader school life.

Join Nuna Aqua Power!

We are excited to welcome both current and prospective families to this new chapter in swimming at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School.

Train with one of Australia’s leading swimming clubs, access elite coaching onsite, and become part of a high-performance swimming community.
