Warwick Academy would like to extend its warmest congratulations to alumna Flora Duffy on winning her second ITU World Triathlon Series, making her the #1 female triathlete in the world today. This is an enormous accomplishment winning world titles back-to-back and is a huge credit to her determination and dedication to one of the most grueling sports.

In recognition of this outstanding achievement Warwick Academy is pleased to name our current swimming pool in her honour, to be called 'The Flora Duffy Swimming Facility'.

Flora attended Warwick Academy and was a successful athlete and student, graduating in 2004. In a typically humble way, and after a brief pause showing obvious surprise, she said, "I loved my time at Warwick Academy and it is really special to have the pool named after me. It came as a huge surprise but such an honour.
