Year 5 and 6 Long Distance Swimming Awards
On Friday 17 January, Year 5 and Year 6 pupils participated in their long distance swimming awards. These awards were open to all pupils in those year groups and 14 pupils swam to reach or exceed their intended goal. The pupils were trying to gain certificates and badges from 400m to 5000m. We are pleased to say that every student hit their goal and some exceeded it by quite a long way.
Congratulation to the following pupils: | ||

As you can imagine it takes a great deal of stamina and endurance to swim 800m (32 lengths) let alone 5000m (200 lengths). What an excellent achievement! We will be holding Year 3 and Year 4 long distance awards in the summer term.
