The BCS SWIMMING ACADEMY is a competitive swimming programme where pupils can combine their studies with high level, elite coaching. A personal school timetable gives talented sportsmen and women the opportunity to receive both coaching and an excellent education in school hours thus allowing for a life outside of school and training. Bournemouth Collegiate School Swimming is open to both pupils and non-pupils and is affiliated with Swim England. We aim to deliver a programme which promotes, enhances and nurtures sporting excellence.
