The Millfield Prep cohort were split into girls’ and boys’ teams, who both took part in 4x50m freestyle and 4x50m medley events respectively. The teams were crowned as champions for their age categories in all four events, including a record-breaking swim for the boys team in the medley relay.

The Director of Swimming at Millfield Prep, Helen Gouldby, who coached Olympic swimmer James Guy, said “It isn’t often that our swimmers are able to come together to swim as a team, but when they do, they really know how to perform! It was an excellent day of racing by all who attended, well done.”
