Yesterday was Abigail's annual inter-house gala. The girls had a lot of fun with sock races, pyjama races, crazy hat races and a raft race and there were also the usual races of a more competitive nature - but only slightly!!
Abigail swam in the individual freestyle and backstroke in her age group and came tied first and second respectively. She swam really well and she told me afterwards that she "wasn't swimming her fastest" because she gets tired if she does!! Uh, I think that is the point!!
Anyway, her house came last (the first time in years that they haven't won) but at the end she was awarded the trophy for Most Promising Junior Swimmer.
She has come so far from the first term of grade 1 when she couldn't swim a single stroke. We were/are very proud of her.
Some pictures of the day:
Freestyle: she tied with her friend Emma.
Backstroke: she came second, she has a very relaxed, graceful style - as if she is going for a little stroll!!
Receiving her cup.
