On Wednesday 21st May, a group of children from years four to six went to a swimming gala at Dawlish, competing against 5 other schools. Firstly, they had to compete in individual events, later followed by three relays. The individual races were all one length; these included breastroke, backstroke and front crawl. The races were all very close. Super effort from our individuals helped Exminster achieved some wins and many second places. However, after the individual races, we were in second place- one point behind Kenton! Exminster were determined to overtake them in the relays.
With outstanding teamwork and super effort, our school managed to win all three of the relays! These were kicking legs with a float, kicking with a ball and a freestyle relay. Because of our wins here, Exminster raced above Kenton and won with five points to spare! They came back to school with gold medals and a magnificent trophy to join the many others. “We worked very well together as a team and I enjoyed it a lot!” (Amelie, year 6)
