ESSA National Swimming Finals
After their success at the ESSA qualifying round, our senior girls’ swim team consisting of Isabella, Siobhan, Amy and Leah (all Fifth years), competed in the national finals event held at the London Aquatic Centre. This was the first time the girls swam in the senior age category and as a team the girls thought they did not stand much of a chance, but were there for the experience of the event. This however was not the case. The girls were absolutely amazing; qualifying from the heats, and finishing 9th in the final. To think that this girls’ team came 9th in the country on their first attempt is incredible, and with two more years in this category, they could win the event. A special mention needs to be made to Mr Fahey who stood in for Mr Smith’s absence.
