Visual Treasure 2026: Our Pirate-Themed Summer Competition

It's Coming. Are You Ready?

Visual Treasure 2026 is back and this year it's going pirate. Our annual summer competition is one of the highlights of the Swan Academy calendar and we're making it bigger, better, and more fun than ever.

When and Where

Sunday 28th June 2026 at Swan Academy, Nobel School, Mobbsbury Way, Stevenage. A full day of fun, performances, and celebrations.

Who Can Compete

Group 1: Weekday 5:30pm, 6:30pm & 7:30pm classes and Saturday 11:30am & 12:30pm classes

Group 2: Squad & Development groups

This is an in-house competition designed to be fun and friendly. It's not about pressure or intensity. It's about giving every gymnast a moment to perform, enjoy themselves, and celebrate what they've been working on all year.

The Pirate Theme

This year we're going full pirate. Every gymnast is asked to design a pirate-themed name card on a piece of cardboard (roughly A4 size) with their first name clearly visible. Think treasure maps, skulls and crossbones, parrots, ships, gold coins, whatever their imagination comes up with. Bring it along on competition day.

Pirate hats and accessories are welcome but gymnasts must perform in their leotard or Swan Academy t-shirt. All clothing must be suitable for sport.

What Every Gymnast Gets

Every competing gymnast receives an official competition t-shirt, a medal, a certificate, and a small goodie bag. We'll also be holding an award ceremony for gymnasts who place in the competition.

How to Enter

Entries are £36 per gymnast and spectator tickets are £5 each. Places are limited and entries close on Sunday 8th June. No late entries will be accepted.

Don't leave it too late. Once places are full, they're full.

Book your child's place now and grab your spectator tickets before they sell out.
