The 2016 Girls’ School Swimming Sports will be remembered for a long time, and not just for the exceptional swimming and sportsmanship the girls displayed. The event was scheduled to take place over two days, but the timetable had to be revised after a fire started in the school hall on the first morning! The races were postponed for a day and the girls revived the House rivalry and battle for individual titles, unfazed in front of a large crowd of parents and supporters.

The Year 4-8 girls competed in a range of 100, 50 and 25m lengths and pushed each other right to the final stroke. The Junior School competitors raced up to 25m in freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke and gained House points in the seahorse fun race which capped off the second day. Senior students joined them in the pool to cheer them on and help them finish.  

When all of the points were tallied, Wishart House was declared overall Swimming Sports champions for the third year in a row.

Congratulations to Wishart and all of the individual Year group winners!
