Swimming Sports

This year's swimming sports were very successful for Room 23. We won the class relay and had 4 people qualify for Zones - Brigit, Flynn, Iso and Gracie. Well done everyone who competed! You did really well. The children who didn't compete in the races turned up at lunch time ready for some fun in the sun and the outdoor pool! Here are some photos of the day.
