The Botany Swarm is a team in the New Zealand Ice Hockey League. It is based in Auckland, New Zealand and was founded in 2005 as the South Auckland Swarm. Their name was changed prior to the 2007 season due to it being similar to some of the other teams and to better reflect the area in Auckland where their home rink located. Botany Swarm are the 2007 and 2008 NZIHL champions and also are the defending 2010 champions.
