Waitahuna Swimming Carnival

Waitahuna Swimming Carnival - photographs taken by the Year 4 students
On Wednesday our Year 3 students took part in the Junior Swimming Carnival at Waitahuna School and it was FABULOUS!!!!!!  The students all did exceptionally well and we were very proud of them all.
Students competed in a number of events to showcase the swimming skills that they have been working on every afternoon since the start of term 1.  They swam widths of the pool in a streamline on their tummy and on their back. They swam widths with the flutter board.  They retrieved objects off the bottom of the pool, and raced against each other with egg and spoon.  And they ended their session by swimming lengths of both freestyle and backstroke to show the cheering parents just what great swimmers they have become.
Special thank you to the Year 4 students who went along and cheered on the Year 3's, supporting them as they gave their best efforts and who were also chief photographers for the day.

  1. Hi Room 4,

    I really enjoyed seeing you guys make such a good effort in the pool, and I certainly noticed your progress since this time last year. Well done, what a great effort!!
