Our swimming programme is based on each swimmer’s ability and desired pathway in the pool. We have the ability to deliver flexibility within our teaching timetable to ensure the best possible swimming programme aligned with our academic pathways.
Each swimmer will have their own individual strength and conditioning programme and competition schedule. The swimming coach and swimming staff will provide support at specific events.
Every swimmer will have their own expectations, goals and future in and out of the pool and the programme is designed to support and challenge these to get the very best for each swimmer.
