We set off early on Friday 11th October to the ISA London South Swimming Gala, it was a cold and frosty morning.
Students from Years 4, 5 and 6 were chosen to attend, it was a very exciting day, but I think we all had butterflies from nerves.
When we arrived, we saw a huge pool, it was 50 metres long – the size of an Olympic pool! The first event was breaststroke, then backstroke and then front crawl. The final event was butterfly.
We all supported each other and it was an amazing experience. We came home with 10 medals! 2 GOLD, 1 SILVER and 7 BRONZE!
Alec came first in both of his races and will be representing the school in the finals, go Alec!
We all did incredibly well and it was a day we will always remember. We don’t think we have ever felt so nervous in our lives and we think that’s because we care so much.
We want to say thank you to Mrs Evans and Mrs Cox for taking us and for supporting us. They gave up their Sunday for us all to practice and we wouldn’t want any other swimming teachers, they are the best.
