On Saturday 17 June, our swimmers took to the pool again, this time at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield for English Schools Primary Team Championships.
Earlier in the year, a team of Warwick Prep girls attended a qualification round where they had qualified in 1st place for both the front crawl relay and the medley relay.
At the event 24 teams (3 from each region) attend. On finals day all teams participate in a heat of 8 schools. The top 8 overall from the heats qualify for the ‘A’ final and top 9-16 qualify for the ‘B’ final.
Our girls swam incredibly well with some new personal best times. They finished in 10th position in both events. Well done to Sasha, Sophie, Arabella and Nefeli.
Our girls represent a variety of swimming clubs including Leamington, Stratford Sharks and Coventry and in June, some of our swimmers took part in round three of the Nuneaton and District Junior League which represents the West Midlands. The competition included two previous rounds and the last round decided who will attend the final.
Congratulations, to Leamington (Iris, Sasha, Nehna, Sophia and Chloe) who finished the round in 2nd place and Coventry (Abigail) who finished in 3rd. Both qualify for the finals. Well done, to Stratford (Arabella) who finished in 13th place.
The girls have consistently performed in their relay teams and individual events, scoring points for their teams. Good luck in the finals on Saturday 9 September.
Members of Karate Club have been working very hard to learn their new forms (patterns) and basic techniques so were thrilled to all pass their recent grading. The girls had to complete a fitness test, show set self-defence, do pad drills for their grade, and spar. Well done!
