Plymouth College has returned triumphant from the English Schools' Swimming Team Championships in Stockport with six of the 12 national titles.  The school swimming team already holds six of the 12 national records.

With Millfield School only winning three events (one of which was shared with Harrow School), Plymouth College's title haul means it is the top swimming school in the country for the fourth year running.

Plymouth College came out on top in the Intermediate Girls' Freestyle Relay, Intermediate Girls' Medley Relay, Intermediate Boys' Medley Relay, Senior Girls' Freestyle Relay, Senior Girls' Medley Relay and Senior Boys' Freestyle Relay.  A change-over infringement in the Senior Boys' Medley Relay cost the team a seventh title and the Intermediate Boys came 3rd in the Freestyle Relay.

"I am delighted that Plymouth College continues to be the top school in the country for swimming", said Clive Hambly, teacher in charge of swimming at Plymouth College.  "There were many fine individual performances from our swimmers and a number of personal bests were broken."

The Plymouth College winning teams were:

Intermediate girls
Lara Cosford, Georgia Denney, Franzisca Reppe, Grace Vertigans

Intermediate boys
Barton Townley, Matt Rose, Oliver Leonard, Jack Smith, Alexander Gregory

Senior girls
Sian Harkin, Kirsty Harkness, Amy McVeigh, Laura Vertigans

Senior boys
Christian Homer, Joe Patching, Edward Pearce, Sam Straughan
