Dulwich College headed out to Italy on a ‘bespoke’ swimming trip that coupled high-level swimming training and competition, immersing themselves in infamous Italian culture around Mantova and the banks of Lake Garda. Flying from London to Verona with British Airways,  the squad had the opportunity to train in top-class facilities in Cannotieri before soaking up the sights of local places such as Mantova (on bicycles) and visiting the world-famous Ferrari World in Modena. Sampling local cuisine and taking in some much-needed calories in local and truly brilliant pizzerias was one way the athletes were able to relax.

Relaxed time in the water awaited after the training block at the Canevaworld Waterpark, undoubtedly one of their tour highlights.

Finally, the opportunity to work with top level athletes and professional coaches offered the students an unrivalled opportunity to improve their techniques and sharpen up their skills ahead of a busy summer schedule; doing so in the most beautiful and wonderful of settings.
