Boasting the most impressive training facilities of any school in the country, Millfield swimmers benefit from the use of both our 50m and our 25m training pools.

Swimming is a sport that encourages the development of physical fitness and health advancement. In line with these physical advantages to the sport, swimming also provides athletes with a platform from which to discover, enjoy – and conquer – the realm of competition. Along the way, swimmers learn life long skills such as effective time management, dedication and goal setting – all of which transfer to successful adult life.

At present, there are approximately 15 swimmers in each year group across the school. By maintaining groups of this size, the squad is able to facilitate an atmosphere of enjoyment and challenge fostered through peer interaction. This, coupled with the highly individual attention offered by the coaches to each swimmer, creates a positive and productive training environment.

At Millfield, swimming training occurs all year round (including most school holidays), with competitions interspersed at regular intervals throughout the year – culminating in the National Age and Youth Championships (regularly held in July).
