SWIMMING This year it has been possible to swim during all three terms and as was expected there has been a tremendous improvement in the standard of swimming. All boys under fifteen took part in a Swimming Standards Competition and in this age group a large number of boys were competent performers in the four major swimming strokes. Only one boy in the School has now to complete the one length test. Members of the Boat Club have to complete a nine lengths test and all boys are encouraged to make eighteen their target.
