Train. Learn. Excel.
A Champion-Making Environment — From First Strokes to Elite Success
Typhoon, through its partnership with Lucton School, have created a training environment that nurtures swimmers from their first strokes to elite-level competition.
At the heart of Lucton’s swimming success is its dedicated team of coaches and staff and its 4-lane indoor heated swimming pool, conveniently located next to the senior boarding house, this facility ensures year-round training access.
Swimming is an integral part of school life at Lucton, and our performance swimmers have an integrated training programme that fits in harmony around their curriculum studies.
Typhoon have created a training environment, which when combined with fierce determination, makes producing champions inevitable.

The Reason
Why Lucton School?
Outstanding Academic Excellecnce
Students at Lucton School regularly celebrate exceptional A-Level results, reflecting our Sixth Form leavers’ dedication and hard work. Our recent results include outstanding grades, with 33% of all results at A or A*. Notably, Physics saw a 100% A grade success rate, while 60% of Math’s and 66% of Chemistry results were A or A*.
Among the many impressive achievements, standout performances include (A*, A, A), (A*, A, A), and (A*, A, C).
These results are a testament to the commitment of our students and staff. Lucton continues to produce excellent academic outcomes and well-rounded young men and women, ready to take on the next stage of their journey with confidence.
We aim to create an environment where swimmers excel in the pool and classroom. Our coaches collaborate closely with academic staff to provide the support athletes need to succeed in both areas. We take great pride in our students’ consistently strong public examination results.
Co-ed 7-18 Day & Boarding
For many students, boarding is central to their life at Lucton. Based in the heart of the school, we have two boarding houses: School Cottage and Croft House.
For some, boarding may appear a daunting experience and the first occasion that many of them have spent time away from home; however, both School Cottage and Croft House have a strong family feel, both with live-in houseparents, who are on hand to provide help, support and guidance whenever it is needed.
Both houses feature communal lounges where students can relax, chat, watch television and play games, and for older students, Croft House also has its own Cinema Room as well as American Pool and Table Tennis tables and a large kitchen café where students can perfect their culinary skills. During the evenings, they are also able to access teacher-supervised homework sessions, allowing them to get the most from their education.
On weekends, boarders enjoy a fantastic programme of activities which typically include cultural trips, theme parks, visiting major cities and attractions like Cadbury’s World, go-karting, ice-skating, bowling, paintballing and much more.
Lucton offers a variety of boarding options including full time and weekdays only, as well as flexi boarding packages, which are ideal for parents with busy working schedules during the week.
Performance Fuel on a plate
Nutrition Fuelling Performance
Precision Nutrition for Peak Performance
At Lucton, nutrition isn’t an afterthought – it’s a key part of the performance plan. Our on-site chefs work in direct collaboration with the Typhoon coaching team to create macronutrient-optimised menus tailored to the training cycle of each athlete.
Meals are designed around the microcycle phase (intensity, volume, recovery focus), with precise ratios of lean proteins, complex carbs, and essential fats to promote performance, recovery, and adaptation. This ensures every swimmer is fuelled for output in the water and focus in the classroom.
Athlete nutrition, delivered with precision. every. single. day.
