During the qualifying stages over 500 schools competed for relay times in the top 30 in the country to qualify for the National Swimming Finals. Bromsgrove School's inter boys team swam well back in September to qualify for both the 4 x 50m medley and freestyle national finals.

On Saturday, the National Finals were held at the London Aquatics Centre (Olympic Pool). Bromsgrove's medley relay team comprising of James Cuthbert (back stroke), Jacob Redden (breast stroke), Samuel Osborne (butterfly) and Benjamin Turner (front crawl) competed well to record a time of 2.05.30, a second faster than their qualifying time, to be be placed 15th in the country. The 4 x 50m freestyle relay team consisting of Samuel Osborne, James Cuthbert, Benjamin Turner and Euan Vaughan-Hawkins swam exceptionally well, taking 2 and a half seconds off their qualifying time, to be placed an impressive 10th in the land. Well done to all the swimmers - great performances in an awe-inspiring venue.
