APPLICATION FORM SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The Nexus Swimming Scholarship is offered to learners from Year 10 upwards.
Nexus’ swimming scholarships are specially curated to provide a personalised approach to swimming. Our swim squad has a good balance of both national and global exposure, frequently competing against international schools and on international levels such as the World and European Junior Championships.
Our extensive programme has produced elite swimmers who represented their home nations at the World and European Junior Championships since 2018. They have also broken over 100 national records across different age groups.
Currently, we have three swimmers on Junior National Teams (Great Britain, Spain, and Ireland) and one swimmer on the Senior National Team for Season 2021 for the World and European Championships. Year 13 learner Carmen won a bronze medal at the European Olympic Festival in 2019 and a gold medal at the European Junior Swimming Championships in 2021, marking one of our biggest achievements to date.
Our swim squad is headed by elite coach, Larisa Mogutova. Larisa is a former international swimmer from Russia. Our swimmers will highly benefit from learning under Larisa’s tutelage. All our coaches are highly dedicated to their team and will often travel to support the team at major swim events and competitions.
Our swim squad trains a minimum of seven to ten times a week, depending on individual needs and physical development. Each personalised swimming programme is supplemented with an exclusive gym and land training program. The well-founded swimming training regime is complemented by state-of-the-art facilities such as an Olympic-sized pool with the capability to be converted into a short course for beginner swimmers, a swim-specific gym, an Omega electronic timing system and diving blocks with reaction time sensors.
We are also the first school on the island that began using power towers to help develop power for speed. These world-class facilities assist in fostering the needs of our swimmers to strive for their absolute best and to achieve their goals. Scholarship learners at Nexus have every opportunity to prepare themselves for top-tier life opportunities ahead.
