About the programme

26 proudly offers swimming services for the CIS and wider community at the school: a custom-built programme that complements the school's CCA programme and community. The programme is tailored to align with the current CIS programme to ensure continuity, and to make it easy for families to understand and enjoy both. Levels are similar but not exactly the same - the equivalents below will guide you if your child takes part in both programmes. Unsure which level? Contact your CIS LTS manager Janet Humphris, or Henry Wright at 26.
