A team swimming

Congratulations to the A team girls on an amazing season. The girls trained hard and showed commitment throughout the season. The Grade 7 swimmers, especially Caitlyn Dube, team captain, led by example at training sessions and at the galas. They assisted the juniors and were enthusiastic and encouraging. I am extremely proud of all the swimmers and their dedication to the team. My congratulations to the whole team on winning the A50m Prestige gala at St Andrew’s on Saturday 5 March.

The results were as follows:

1st St Mary’s 121.5

2nd Brescia 87

3rd St Peter’s 80

4th St Andrew’s 78

5th St Stithians 72

6th Kingsmead 61.5

B team swimming

Our B team swam incredibly well this term. The girls placed first in all their galas, including the final A25m gala, which took place at St Mary’s on 5 March. I am delighted with the whole B team, especially the captain, Sarah Silcock, and all the Grade 7 girls whose commitment to the team was exemplary. The girls encouraged and assisted the team in every way they could; they trained hard and gave their best in all their races. My heart was bursting with pride when I watched them swim in the final gala.

The scores for the final gala were as follows:

1st St Mary’s 116

2nd St Peter’s 108

3rd St Stithians 86

4th Kingsmead 76

5th Brescia 66

6th St Andrew’s 52

Well done to everyone for a wonderful and successful season.

A very big thank you to all the teachers who assisted at our final gala and made sure that everything ran smoothly.
