Swimming

Although swimming has long been a part of Bishop’s College, it was not until the construction of the school’s very own swimming pool in 2009 that the sport truly began to flourish. Prior to that, the team trained off-site with limited access and resources. The establishment of the pool marked a turning point, allowing for more consistent training, the development of younger swimmers, and a renewed enthusiasm for the sport within the school community.  

Swimming is one of the most active and widely participated sports in the school. It brings together students from every grade, starting from the youngest in the primary section to the most senior girls in the upper school. Swimming is also included within the school timetable for the primary section, to ensure the students receive structured training as a part of their curriculum. 

Some of the past achievements of our team,

• At the 49th Sri Lanka Schools Swimming Championships 2024, R. Yashnia and Sanuki Silva secured top 3 places. 
• At the National School Games 2024 Amaya Warnapura, Anela Mendis and Dulmi Dias secured top 3 Places. 
• Bishop’s College emerged runners-up at the Novices Swimming Championships (SLASA) 2024

All our swimmers are known for their outstanding discipline, commitment, and team spirit both in and out of the pool. They train with dedication and represent Bishop’s College with pride and integrity at every meet. We warmly invite any student of Bishop’s College who is passionate, determined, and willing to learn to join the swimming team. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, there’s a place for you in our squad as we continue to grow stronger together and help Bishop’s College shine in the world of aquatics.
