From our performance team to our very novice swimmers, the coaching staff brings a wide variety of skills to the poolside including experience with open-water swimming, triathlons, competitive swimming at multiple age groups and across 2 continents, and coaching certifications from British Triathlon. In addition to training the swim squad, the team regularly has attendees from the triathlon team, the modern pentathlon team, and other sportspeople doing rehab or cross-training. We offer 10 hours of water time each week so that even the most avid swimmers can train to the highest level.
In addition to attending fixtures against several area schools each term, Wellington hosts between 2 and 4 four-school galas each term. The high point of our calendar year is the Bath Cup competition, where more than 80 independent schools from all over Britain, Ireland, and the Channel Islands come together for a relay gala at the 2012 Olympic Pool in London.
