The Josephian school’s academic calendar is not complete without the Inter House Swimming and Diving Championships. The highlight of this year’s swimming meet is that it celebrates 60 years. This is certainly an achievement, overcoming all obstacles in its wake and will certainly go down in history.

In spreading the diamond rays, it’s been a fantastic and enriching year for the Josephian swimmers winning the Sri Lankan Schools Swimming Championships for the ninth consecutive year. Undoubtedly, undisputed champions.

The Josephian team has won many local and international competitions and achieved much success. Commitment, hard work, and a passion for the sport, is the hallmark for their success.

This young team is coached by a dedicated, vibrant and enthusiastic individual who incidentally is himself a national coach, Ruwan Manawadu and ably supported by the assistant coaches. The team receives support and encouragement from the Rector Rev. Fr. Sylvester Ranasinghe, Prefect of Games Rev. Fr. Samith Rangana, the Teacher in Charge Malka Jayasinghe and last but not least, the parents.

The 60th Inter House Swimming and Diving Championships are to be held on 20 October 2012 at 1 p.m. at the college pool.
