Oakwood Swimming Gala

Oakwood have invited our local partners Chichester Swim School to participate in their inter school's swimming gala. 

Aims

The aim of this event is to broaden the opportunity for swimmers in the local community to compete in a swimming gala against other local Independent schools, which they would normally not have the opportunity to do.

There is a need to support local swimming in the community and provide an opportunity for more swimmers to experience a traditional gala.

Swimmers of Chichester Swim School, parents and relatives will have the opportunity to attend and support.
