"Every year at the swim meets for universities and colleges, almost all of the top swimmers are graduates of Hsinchu High," says physical education teacher Huang Sheng-min with great pride. The great long-distance swimmer Wang Han is likewise a graduate of Hsinchu High.
這項規定造就了不少游泳人才，「每年大專運動會，游泳項目幾乎都是竹中校友的天下」，體育老師黃勝民引以為傲地指出，長泳高手王瀚就是新竹高中畢業的。
