The school was the third school in South Africa in terms of the number of pupils registered to swim, and the first in Gauteng. A total of 55 Lycée Jules Verne pupils, from grades 4 to 12, took part.
The Midmar Mile forms part of the requirements for the Jules Verne Trophy. To win this trophy, pupils need to compete in the following three events:
- A bike contest
- A swimming contest
- A run: 5km, 10km or 21km.
After the Midmar Mile, 26 pupils were still in the running to win the trophy.
