Pupils from classes Bute, Sanda and Shetland will be in attendance  and they’ll have a chance to swim against peers from other schools in a very friendly and slightly competitive atmosphere.

We’ve had great fun in the last few years taking part and races will include 10m front stroke and 10m back stroke, as well as a novelty race and a relay.

Our Active Schools Coordinators will be on hand to help us out, and I’m sure great fun will be had by all!
