The Aberdeen Aquatics Centre was filled with energy and excitement as pupils from S1-S6 gathered for the annual Robert Gordon’s College Senior Swimming Gala. 

With eager participants, cheering spectators, and a lineup of thrilling races, the event highlighted the dedication and sportsmanship of our pupils.

Mrs Hutchinson, Head of Swimming, shared: “We had a very impressive 56 pupils sign up to compete from S1-S6. We were delighted to see each swimmer put in a fantastic effort for themselves and their house. We had a number of school records broken, this shows the commitment to their sport and the time and passion that our swimmers put into training hard.

The relays were lots of fun with lots of cheering from all houses. As always the captain's race was a very fun event that the Senior pupils enjoyed participating in and all other pupils enjoyed cheering them on.”
