Marlborough College has its own superb, eight lane, twenty five metre competition pool which is amongst the best in the South West of the country.
The ability to raise the pool floor at one end gives flexibility to the teaching and training environment. The Omega electronic timing system provides excellent precision and instant results to close races.
Although external swimming competitions take place throughout the academic year; the main term for swimming is in the summer.
The College has enjoyed much recent success being the winners and record holders of the 200 metres Freestyle Relay (Merritt Cup) held annually at Stowe for the past three years. We were also the Bath Cup and Otter Cup winners and record holders in 2005. Jason (2000-05) and David Dunford (2001-06) have both gained international experience swimming for their country (Kenya) at the World (F.I.N.A.) long and short course championships. David competed in the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia.
