Rossall recap
11 April 2025
More than 50 swimmers and staff are settling back into ‘normal’ life after another brilliant week at Rossall School. Thanks to all of the swimmers for putting their all into the week, and all of the staff for planning such a great week and ensuring the swimmers were well looked after. Special thanks to Phil, who made his last Rossall appearance as a coach but promised to be back next year as part of the officials’ team.
On the way home, we asked the swimmers to send us their Rossall reviews.
- It was very fun and competitive, the games room was good and the swimming was amazing.
- Rossall was really good because it was fun but also challenging to help us improve. I enjoyed playing badminton and swimming in the sea.
- My favourite part was the yellow and blue gala and the 25m breaststroke because I beat my head coach Tom. Also, I got to spend time with my friends.
- I quite enjoyed swim camp. Even though there was quite a lot of swimming, we also did other stuff that was fun!
- I really enjoyed camp – it was really fun. I got to socialise with my friends and coaches, and got to know them better. I enjoyed sharing a room with a friend. And camp in general was amazing.
- My favourite part of camp was the sets we did, particularly the 30x100s. I feel as though Rossall pushes me to train harder every year, as well as having great food, spending time with my friends and playing plenty of games.
- Rossall was really fun and it was nice to spend time with friends. I improved my stamina for longer distances.
- Rossall swim camp was a really fun experience. I enjoyed every second of it and I loved spending time with my friends.
- I really enjoyed the experience. I loved how close and kind everyone was with each other, the sets were sometimes challenging but we all persevered and completed them as a team. The gala was an amazing experience – it gave people the chance to attempt skins races that they may come across in their competing future.
