Competition at the Girls’ School Swimming Sports has always been fierce. This year was no different with intense competition in both preliminaries and finals. Finally, it was Cargill who edged over Chalmers by only 4 points to win the title.
The atmosphere was vibrant during the Swim Finals yesterday, as a sea of house colours chanted and cheered from the side of the pool while the races got underway. It was encouraging to see our girls display great technique as they swam up and down the pool in the various races.
In between the races, our girls and staff kept the spirits high with entertaining dances. It was also fun to see the Girls’ School staff race – a perfect way to end a stunningly beautiful day out in the sun.
Congratulations to our all our swimming talents for your showcasing your personal best!
