The atmosphere throughout the event was fantastic, with swimmers of all ages showing great determination, teamwork and school spirit. Every race was fiercely contested, and it was wonderful to see such strong support from teammates cheering each other on.
While every swimmer played their part in creating a brilliant team environment, special recognition must go to Emilien G (S3) and Jessica M (P6) for their outstanding, record-breaking performances. Both pupils set new school records across all four disciplines: Front Crawl, Back Crawl, Breaststroke and the Individual Medley—an incredible achievement.
After a series of closely fought races, Clan Gordon emerged victorious, claiming the 2026 Swimming Gala Clan Shield. The final standings were:
Clan Gordon - 618
Clan Douglas - 546
Clan Stuart - 266
Clan Forbes - 108
