Intersquad Swimming Gala Report
On Thursday 21st May was the Inter-squad Swimming Gala, we had 37 girls competing from year 3,4,5 & 6. We witnessed some exciting races. 87 new records were set, so this show how well the girls were swimming.
I have uploaded a table on Firefly showing who has set new records and in what stroke (see link below). All these new records are so impressive, and this is one of the reasons we hold this event each year because the girls consistently produce their best times at this event. Girls if you would like to know your times please let me have your planners and I will update them.
