The OGS Swimming Team competed in our first relay gala against Royal Russell on Tuesday 13th January.
The races were intense and thrilling with minimal rest between events.
The gala featured front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly relays, with the girls and boys from each year group swimming against each other. The teams displayed amazing teamwork and enthusiasm, well done swimmers.
The penultimate event was the medley relay, where children from years 6, 5 & 4 swam all 4 strokes and year 3 swam 2 legs of front crawl. The races were very exciting.
The gala concluded with a large squadron relay comprising of 16 girls from all year groups and a combined boys’ and girls’ team for the boys as we do not have enough boys in year 4.
A huge thank you to Mr Smith for driving the minibus and assisting on poolside alongside, Mrs Gorman, Mrs Harris and Miss Sumners without your support these galas cannot take place. Well done to Lizzie, Ellie & Sebastian who took part in their very first gala and of course our wonderful parent cheer squad, thank you so much for your continued support at these events.
