Who can take part?
The Millfield swimming programme is designed for pupils from every year level of the School. Lessons are available for all ages and standards, with recreational sessions available to those who wish to swim at their leisure.
Millfield is recognised as one of the top clubs in Great Britain. Our three full-time coaches and magnificent 50m Olympic swimming pool combine to create a means for continual improvement and progress. Many pupils go on to become Olympic and Commonwealth swimmers due to the support and quality of coaching they find here. Along the way, swimmers learn lifelong skills such as effective time management, dedication and goal setting – all of which transfer to successful adult life.
What’s involved?
Full-time swimmers usually operate in groups of 15. By maintaining groups of this size, the squad is able to facilitate an atmosphere of enjoyment and challenge offered through peer interaction. This, coupled with the highly individual attention offered by the coaches to each swimmer, creates a positive and productive training environment. Training sessions are offered six days per week, with individual training programs tailored to the swimmer’s stage of development. Millfield pupils can then go on to compete in numerous fixtures and competitions at regional, county and national levels.
