    Since year 11, my friend and I have been wanting to go on a school swimming tour to an international country. At one point we had mentioned to the teacher that by the time we have left Bancroft’s, we must have gone on a swim tour. Finally, after a couple years of talk, we had arranged to travel to the beautiful country of Montenegro for a week long swim tour. The perfect way for us Year 13s to finish off our Bancroft’s career; inspire the younger years and elders to get into swimming. Love to those who came!
