Repton School
Repton Swimming is a unique club offering a high performance swimming programme, which provides international standard coaching within the superb surroundings of a world class independent boarding and day school. Affliated with Swim England and SwimMark accredited, Repton Swimming is a school and community club where any swimmer can apply to trial. In the short period since our affiliation in 2020, Repton Swimming has already featured heavily on the national stage, producing its first British Champions in 2022 and first international representatives in 2023.

Director of Swimming Jamie joined Repton in January 2025 from his previous position as the National Coach at The Aquatics GB Bath National Performance Centre, having coached senior GB international teams and athletes at The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, The World Aquatic Championships 2023 in Japan, and The Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.
At the Repton site, there is a six lane, 25m pool with new racing blocks, all set within the recently developed Sports Centre. This provides a perfect training environment for any ambitious swimmer. Swimmers have access to coaching across all seven days of the week and once at the right level their pool sessions are supported by specialist Strength and Conditioning at least twice per week. This is delivered in our bespoke Strength and Conditioning Gym and swimmers have access to Repton Physiotherapy Clinic to support their physical progress and any necessary rehabilitation.
Repton’s young swimmers will be following in the wake of Adam Peaty OBE - Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Champion and world-record holder, who used Repton as his main training venue in the five years leading up to his historic gold medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The School was honoured to welcome Adam back to Repton in November 2019 to open its redeveloped Sports Centre.
