A strong performance from our swimmers

21.02.2022

On 11th February ten girls represented High March at the IAPs swimming qualifiers in Oxford at the Dragon School. The girls were very nervous but nevertheless swam particularly well.

The U10 and U11 medley relay teams were both placed 2nd in their heat as was the U11 freestyle relay team. Great results!A special mention goes to Astrid for swimming up an age category and achieving 1^st place in her butterfly heat; we must also single out Gracie for being placed 1st in backstroke, Tilly for coming 1st in her backstroke heat and, last but not least, Mylah, Eva C and Alana for coming very close seconds in their races. Finally, a big ‘well done’ to Jess C who came 3rd in her heat, swimming a very challenging 50m butterfly.

Girls, you put in an amazing effort! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we qualify for the finals at the Aquatic Centre in June.
