I agree that's Rowan's justification in that scene, but I think there is a horror of boasting or too much praise in the Marlows which she's also expressing - think of Captain & Mrs Marlow not wanting to say too much to Lawrie about how good she was in Prince and the Pauper. Though there it seems to have been OK for the family to discuss it; it's only when the twins arrive that everyone starts shutting Ann up.
Nicola and Lawrie take pleasure in Ginty doing well at the swimming match - though of course there's some school pride there too.
