The Heretaunga Swimming Club is one of New Zealand’s oldest swimming clubs. Established in Hastings in 1908 it was for a long time a very important part of the Hastings sporting and social fabric. In 1989 the club unfortunately went into recess.
However in 1998 a group of swimming enthusiasts, who could see the need for competitive swimming to be re-established in Hastings got together and reformed The Heretaunga Swimming Club (known as Sundevils)
The Sundevils currently have over 110 registered swimmers under the direction of new Head Coach, Andrew McLay
