Swimming

Looking for Sports Results and Fixtures?

Swimming is provided as a main games option for all pupils in the Sixth Form, when pupils are given the opportunity to train and compete in fixtures against other schools. In addition the School enters competitions such as the Gloucester District Championships and The Bazuka National Relays. House Swimming events are organised throughout the year. Training and competition takes place in our own heated indoor pool. Coaching is provided by enthusiastic and knowledgeable teaching staff.
