2 children from Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 took part in a gala today, Tuesday 12th November 2024 at Caterham School.
The gala started with the individual races, backstroke, breaststroke, frontcrawl, and butterfly, there were some really tight finishes and excellent swims from all of the children. Next, all of the children swam in two relays: medley and freestyle, both girls and boys from each year group swimming against each other and a big shout out to the two boys in year 3 having to swim 2 legs each, very well done. A big thank you to the children who swam up for their age and who stepped in to swim at very short notice.
The scores were announced. OGS scored 216 and Caterham won with a score of 307 – it was a tough gala.
Very well done to the whole swimming team and thanks to the parents who helped with the transportation to the gala and the large amount of parents cheering and lastly a massive thank you to both Mrs Cox and Mr Smith for helping me on poolside.
