Yesterday on the 21st of February we had our annual school swimming sports. This took up 3/4 of our day. Only years 5 to 8's participated in this event. The day started of with cold weather with a bit of rain, but that didn't stop us!!!! We headed off in the cars to Riwaka's school pool where the swimming sports was going to be held. Pretty much as soon as we got there we started the races starting with the youngest and getting to the oldest. The fist race was the open championships which was one length of backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. Then there was the backstroke we had finals for each event except for butterfly and the open championship. For the finals they choose the 6 fastest times off all ages. Then they moved onto breaststroke followed by their finals. Before Freestyle we had a butterfly demonstration swam by the strongest swimmers, that knew the stroke. Freestyle was our final individual race. We had two races that were our house relays. Blue House won the first relay Green House came first in the teacher chair race!
So over all it was a great day!!!!!By Eva and Sophie
