Swimming

Red Housel has a very active and successful swimming team, being part of the curriculum for Years 4, 5 and 6.

Many of our pupils are keen and talented swimmers who belong to clubs in the area. It is very much thanks to the work done by those organisations with the swimmers that we are able to offer an outlet for their interests and talents here in school.

Despite not owning our own pool, Red House does have access to first class swimming facilities. The abundance in team spirit and a wealth of talent allows our boys and girls to enjoy taking part in local swimming events and help raise funds for charitable concerns. This year Red House pupils took part in a gala ‘swimathon’ in aid of The Stroke Association. The event, ‘Stroke 4 Stroke’, was held as part of a national initiative to raise awareness and funds for people affected by this debilitating condition. Gillian Brady, Regional Fundraising Manager for the Stroke Association, presented goody bags to all the entrants and expressed gratitude and delight at the efforts of the students involved. Well done to all involved and for giving up so much of your time to make a difference.
