At St George’s, we believe in empowering young women to excel in both academics and sports. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Performance Swimming Scholarship Programme - a unique opportunity for talented swimmers aged 11-18 competing at County level and above to develop their potential and create champions, in and out of the pool.
