The Merton Primary Swimming Finals took place on the morning of Monday 24th June 2024 at the brilliant pool facilities of King’s College School Wimbledon.
17 teams represented with their qualifying swimmers from the previous heats in May and early June.
With some schools representing with as few as one swimmer and others with up to 17 – we would like to say a huge thank you to all for taking part and to all teachers for making the arrangements to make it possible for the teams to come along.
The Finals consisted of a 20 race programme with 16 individual races as well as 4 relay finals.
All children delivered a fast and fantastic effort across the Back, Breast and Free disciplines and all should be immensely happy with their efforts. The list of results can be found below –
