Report

We welcomed Highfields on Friday afternoon for our second swimming gala this term.  Following our success in the previous competition, St Hugh's performed very well and although competition was close, the children were very pleased to finish as winners!  

It was a great team effort with four male and four female swimmers making up a team at each group (U9,10,11).  For the first time we decided to have an 'A' and 'B' string race for each event which meant lots of pupils had the opportunity to represent St Hugh's.  It was great to see so many swimmers attempting things we have been working on in squad training, such as tumble turns, use of the 5m flags and limiting their breathing during sprints.  

A huge well done to all competitors.  Many thanks to Toby A and Elliot A for stepping in at the last minute!
