At the end of last term, a number of our pupils from Years 7, 8 and 9, took part in the first virtual national swimming competition, Level X, organised by Swim England to replace the usual swimming competitions during the Covid period.
Swimmers across the country took part in officially timed events during their training sessions. The times were then ranked nationally and final Leaderboards created for the top 10 swimmers in each event.
Our Plymouth College swimmers achieved a fantastic total of 70 top ten Level X national rankings in their respective age groups. Congratulations to Dixie Turner-Moore, Aviva Hollinsky, Ellie Kennington, Freya Pearson, Max Stafford-Davies, Ollie Dennis, Finn Broekhoven, Johari Masinde, George Hayward, Matthew Hamilton, James Blackwell and Sudki Al Khatib.
In addition, the following Plymouth College swimmers achieved an amazing 27 medals (9 gold medals, 7 silver medals and 11 bronze medals): Aviva Hollinsky (1 gold, 4 bronze), Freya Pearson (1 silver), Ellie Kennington (3 silver, 1 bronze), Max Stafford Davies (3 gold, 3 bronze), Ollie Dennis (4 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze), Johari Masinde (1 bronze) and Finn Broekhoven (1 gold, 1 silver from only 3 events).
Well done to everyone who took part and particular thanks to the swimmers' main Plymouth Leander coach, Richard Beard, for all his hard work and dedication to enabling the swimmers to be the best they can be.
