The Swimmers’ Swimmer
Nicholas Rollo (Wb 2007-2016)
After another remarkable year of Open Water Swimming,
Nicholas Rollo has been voted by his peers as the Western Australian
2020 Swimmers’ Swimmer of the Year. This is a great honour as Nic
was selected by the elite swimmers at Swimming WA and votes were
placed for achievement, resilience and dedication to the sport over the
past season.
Nic has had phenomenal performances and recently travelled to The
Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra for a two-week intensive
training camp. The purpose of the camp was to prepare Australia’s
finest Open Water Swimming hopefuls for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
While Nic just missed out on making the Olympic team, he has been
described in a recent Swimming WA article as “one of the brightest
stars on the National Open Water Swimming scene,” placing strongly
at both the national and international level.
In swimming circles, the Rollo name is strong, with Nicholas’ brother
William Rollo (Wb 2007-2014) also making significant contributions
to Western Australian swimming. They have a long history of success,
and while Nic and Will were still students at the School, both were
successful in being awarded The Old Guildfordians Association’s
Student Travel Bursary. These bursaries support students who incur
travelling expenses as a result of winning the opportunity to compete
in a cultural, academic or sporting event in a school-sponsored activity
at a national or inter-national level.

We look forward to hearing of more success from Nic and Will as they
pursue this grueling sport.
New Business Networking Hub
Support your community. Search for businesses and mentors.
Our community is strong and there is no time like the present
for our Old Guildfordians to support each other. We have recently
introduced a new Business Networking Hub to encourage
networking, business growth and mentoring opportunities...all
searchable and from the one place.
Use this facility to increase exposure for your business and access the
advice and support of mentors, or become a mentor yourself.
In the past, the ability to list a business on the directory was a feature
reserved for members of the Old Guildfordians Association. During
these difficult times, the Association has decided to support the
businesses of all Old Guildfordians, whether they are members or not.
Volunteer as a mentor here!
To take a look, simply go to the link below and filter your searches to show businesses and/or mentors and then select the industry.
