Swimming gala.

Yesterday Abigail had her inter-house swimming gala. She swam in the grade 2 class race. Last year she had a grade 7 helping her, this year she has improved so much she was with the "swimmers"!! I am amazed at how well she is doing seeing as the only time she swims is at school. Today she swam a whole length of crawl (freestyle).

Anyway, here are some pics:
ready,


set,


go!

She had a good time cheering as well, although it is competitive, there is a lot of emphasis on fun too. Her house came second (lost by 4 points!!!) but the girls all enjoyed themselves.

There was a picnic in the schools gardens afterwards and so we were all exhausted by the end trying to keep track of Niave who was on the run - I'm hoping by next year I might be able to eat my picnic in one sitting without having to hop up every 2 minutes to rescue her from somewhere!!

But, well done Abs on a good race and on becoming such a good swimmer!
