Swimming Gala

On Saturday, the tenth of November, some secondary students went to Chengelo to participate in a swimming gala against Mpelembe, Simba, Chengelo, and Lechwe. Over all I think we did quite well considering we did not have nearly as many teammates as the other teams. The team worked hard and as a result some personal records were broken. We participated in almost all the races except the girls relays. The last race we did was called the squadron relay. This was a race in which the swimmer had to wear a shirt and pass it on to the next swimmer at the end of the length. This took us about five and a half minutes to complete the race and we were last even though we had some help from a Chengelo boy. I want to thank Xavier for not taking as long as last year to put on the shirt for the relay.

At the end of the day Chengelo won with 111 points, Lechwe came second with 102 points, Simba scored 98 points, Amano scored 42 points and Mpelembe scored 34 points. I think we had a fun day over all and I would like to thank the team for trying hard, Mr Grove and Mr George for driving, Mrs Reid for supporting, but most of all God for no injuries, good weather, and safe travels.
