Well what a fantastic week of swimming the first 3 events of the Club Championship Super Series made. There were 23 new school records set over the week and loads of PB times across the whole team, so well done to all of you. Your coaches think you are all amazing!

NOW is the time to pick yourself up and find the motivation to finish the season with some more PB’s and school records. The final event of the series is just around the corner in 4 weeks on Friday May 30th. It is a tight competition for the age group trophies and this will be the event that decides who will rise up and get the points to take home one of these coveted awards. It could be YOU!!! So make your training over the next 4 weeks and be ready for the final of the finals, the 50’s smash out session. Finish the year off with the fastest swims you can.

Training is as usual this week THEN over WK 33 – study week & WK 34 – exam week,  training is optional. The pool will be open for you to train yourselves, if you want. In WK 35 leading up to the final event, training will be as usual. These training schedule changes will not affect PYP students as their training times will remain unchanged.
