History was made on Friday February 27, 2026 for the Jamaica College Swim Team.
For the first time since the revival of the Jamaica College swim programme, the team secured second place in the Men’s Division at the 2026 ASAJ High Schools and Tertiary SwimMeet.
JC finished with an impressive 337.5 points, placing ahead of CampionCollege (316 points) and just behind champions Wolmer’s Boys’ School (413 points).
This milestone achievement marks a defining moment in the rebuilding journey of the Jamaica College Swim Team. Under the leadership of Coach Lemone Lowe, the team has demonstrated remarkable growth, discipline, and competitive spirit.

This result is not just a podium finish, it is proof that the revival of JC Swimming is gaining strong momentum. The foundation has been laid, and this is only the beginning of even greater accomplishments to come.
