The gala sees a shield handed to the winning school in each age group, for boys and girls. All events are over 50m, with all age groups taking part in each of the four strokes, except for the U9s who do not compete in the butterfly event. Points are given to each school depending on their placings in each event, then the points are tallied to determine the shield winner.
In the girls section, DSG/St Andrew's Prep won all four age categories. In the boys' section, St Andrew's Prep won the U10, U11 and open categories, while Graeme won the U9 and U12 categories.
