Aside from Grange School, the participating schools consist of Atlantic Hall, Meadow Hall, St Saviour’s Children International School (CIS), Lagos Preparatory and Secondary School (LPS), Lagoon/Whitesands, Greensprings Lagos, Riverbank, Italian Priory, and Boken Aquatics Club.

With such dedication and the rising enthusiasm among the schools, Lagos’ first private school swimming competition promises to be a thrilling and memorable event for all involved.
