Swimming is taught to every child from Badgers upwards and members of staff supervising lessons undergo training and take the NRA Rescue Test every two years. Throughout preprep, children will swim at least twice a week when the weather is warm in order to build confidence and awareness. The frequency diminishes as children progress through the Junior school and into the Seniors. During these years, the various techniques are coached and speed and strength are developed.

Years 3 – 8 have a House Swimming Gala each summer where boys and girls swim for House points and personal bests, and Years 5 – 8 compete as a school squad in two Four School Galas organised here at Castle Court.

Last year’s squad remained unbeaten and four school records were broken.
