Our swimmers represented Dulwich Puxi with pride. Their positive attitudes, teamwork and interactions with competitors, coaches and officials were exemplary, reflecting the values of our school. The competition created a shared sense of achievement and pride among swimmers, parents and teachers alike.
'Swimming and aquatics are so important. Competitive swimming gives our students a chance to really commit to training, and compete against their biggest rival: themselves! Being with the team in Thailand was a real honour, the students were fantastic, our community is so proud and the work the coaches are doing is simply incredible.'——Matt Uffindall,Director of Sport
Our Mustang Swimming Programme
The success at FOBISIA reflects the strength and consistency of the Mustang Swimming Programme at Dulwich Puxi. Swimming lessons begin as early as 2 years old, with a focus on water confidence, enjoyment and skill development, following the Swim England Programme.
Progress is tracked and celebrated through certificates and badges, ensuring students experience growth, achievement and challenge. Lessons are differentiated to match ability, helping every student reach their potential.
As they advance through the College, swimmers not only refine their technique but also learn how to practise, improve and support one another as part of a team.
