Swimming

With increased training hours and a three-term competitive programme, the swimming club has exploded this year. In total, 27 school records have been broken. The U12 and U13 squads have competed in the London Independent schools league, finishing 12th out of 18 schools. Additionally, they have set 15 new school records. The U12 girls’ relay team of Vasilisa, Emilia, Mia and Sophie set an impressive 1.07.44 for the 4x25m freestyle relay. Julian’s 0.43.85 in the 50m Breast-stroke and Derin’s 1.23.63 in the 100m individual medley were the pick of the boys’ events.

Our intermediate squad (U14 and U15) competed in the SouthWest London Schools’ Quadrangular. This event is run over four galas, with results from each combining to produce an overall total. The event presents a great opportunity for pupils who are new to competitive swimming. Of our four relay teams, three set new school records and are listed below:

Our senior team has had its first season in competition and has largely focused on relay events. Most notably, the school entered the 2022 Bath Cup hosted at the London Aquatics Centre. Nine pupils represented Emanuel across four events and the results are listed below:
