Win for our Swimming Team – Thursday 13th October 2022

36 children today (13th October 2022) took part in a friendly gala with Royal Russell School in South Croydon. The team consisted of 20 girls and 16 boys from years 3, 4, 5 & 6.

The gala started with the individual freestyle races, followed by backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.  There were some outstanding swims from our children which led to many exciting close races. 

The gala finished with the front crawl and medley relays. Again, there were some nail biting finishes.

It was so nice to have parents cheering the team on after so long, thank you for your continued support.

I am very grateful to Mrs Cox for supporting me on poolside in her first gala, thank you.

Also, a big thank you to 3 boys from year 4 who swam up a year group to enable the year 5’s to have a team.

Mrs Cox and I are so proud of you all, well done!
