Swimming

Swimming is considered to be an important life skill and therefore holds a regular and dominant position in the PE curriculum.

Aquatic activities are available on the daily games programme, with specific training for team swimmers on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the first two terms.

Glenalmond participates in the Midlands and Tayside Championships and the Scottish Schools' Relay Championships: the College aims to host three fixtures in both the Michaelmas and Lent Terms.

Swimming Success

Glenalmond swimmers shone at the recent swim meet against Merchiston Castle and Fettes schools. All of our boys came in first or second in every event, and won the O15A, U15A and U15B competitions, resulting in an overall victory for the Glenalmond team. An excellent win, and the result of a lot of hard training in recent months under the guidance of Glenalmond's coach, former Olympic coach Gary Vandermeulen.
