Our swimming team performed sensationally at the Primary Sports Canterbury Swimming Championships last Monday at QEII. The hardest race to win is the 9 year old mixed 4 x 50m relay and we won it by 11 seconds! Sam H., Annabelle W, Sophie W and Alex H. were fastest qualifier from the heats and led from start to finish in the final to be about a 1/3 of the pool ahead. *
The 10 year team made the final also and came 8th which is a great effort as many of the schools have Year 7s in their teams as the children are still ten.
Individual swim of the day was from Jared C. who qualified 8th fastest in the open (up to 12 years plus and including Year 8s) 50m Butterfly final. He then came 5th in the final in 41.53, an amazing achievement. Sam H. and Sophie W also made a final in their 9 years 50m freestyle with Sophie taking 5th in 39.91 and Sam 8th in 43.00. Special mention of Moss J who was 11th fastest in the 9 years 50m backstroke in 50.72, but only 10 made the final!
* We have subsequently found out that the team were disqualified for starting before a touch, watch FOS News this Friday and make your own decision!
