BIG congratulations go to our John Bramston Swimming Team who represented the school at the Redbridge Mini Gala at Fullwell Cross Swimming Pool in Barkingside on Thursday 17th November!
The team consisted of 5 participants; 4 of which were girls, who competed in the Medley Relay race, finishing second in the first heat which saw them through to the final heat. The girls then impressed again and well-deservedly finished second overall out of 12 competing schools! This meant that JB finished second overall in the girls competition - taking back to school a very nice Silver Trophy!
The team also did very well in their own individual races – with Cayley (Y6O/L) finishing first out of 2 competitive heats in the 25m Breaststroke, and also Lauren also finishing first in both heats in 25m backstroke!
Well done also to Nicole(Y5G) who also progressed into the final and finished off in an impressive second place in the final heat in 25m Butterfly!
Well done also to Emma(Y5G) who swam very well and was unlucky not to get through to the final, finishing in 3rd place, narrowly missing out on second in the 25m front crawl.
A huge well done also to Ryan (60)who finished 5th in the front crawl - a very tough boy's 25m race.
The team now looks forward to the Gala coming up in January, which will be a very good test for the team!
If you think your child is a strong swimmer, and capable of swimming 50m comfortably and could be a contender to compete for the school, please see Mr Walker.
Well done again to the team!!
Mr Walker
