The Swimming Sports
At the swimming sports each house competed in a variety of swimming activities. Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly, Breaststroke, Flutter board and carrying a teacher on a chair from one end of the swimming pool to the other end. The first race was Freestyle. The pool area was shaking with the sound of cheering. The pool was warm and the swimmers zipped down the pool like a fish in a pond. The swimmers that came 1st and 2nd got into a final and if they won they would go to the Motueka swimming sports. In Backstroke there was more than one person who crashed into something or somebody.
By now Yellow house was in the lead followed closely by Green house. A Butterfly demonstration was performed by a few people from each house. Breaststroke was the next on the list. The we had to have a demonstration done for the younger students. There were many people who entered the Flutter board races. There were no finals in the Flutter board races but you still got a point for entering. The last and final race was the teacher on a chair race.
Blue house won, closely followed by Red house and Yellow house. At the end of the day the points were counted and the winner of the swimming sports was... Yellow House!!!
We had a awesome day and everybody had fun. The Motueka swimming sports will take place on the 6th of March.By Hamish, Bryn and Marls.
