The sport at PWS
Confident in the water, strong on land
Swimming is one of the most valuable skills a child can learn – for safety, fitness and fun. The PWS campus has its own indoor swimming pool, so students can learn and train close to their classrooms and hostels.
Sessions are supervised, and children progress from water confidence to strokes, stamina and racing. The school holds swimming events, and summer camp adds more time in the pool.
