Inter-Schools Swimming Champions 2019

14th Feb 2019

Congratulations to our Swimming Team who were crowned the Winners of the Best Overall School at Greenvale Leisure Centre Inter-Schools Swimming Gala today. A fantastic achievement by the team who participated and they performed brilliantly in all their heats recording excellent times. With five P5 pupils, two P6 pupils and two P7 pupils, it was a superb team effort by all pupils, showing super determination and attitude in all events. 

When all the events were finished, it was time for the results. With the pupils recording excellent times in all their heats the following pupils were awarded medals:

Nicole came first in the Back Crawl, Front Crawl, Breast Stroke and Butterfly. 

Conor came second in the Front Crawl and third in the Butterfly. 

The girls came third in the Freestyle Relay and the Boys Freestyle Relay recorded a great time to come third in their heat. 

The scoring system meant the team won Best Overall School in a close contest with only five points separating an excellent Annahorish PS team and ourselves. 

Thank you to all parents who supported the pupils on the day and assisted with transport. Thank you to Greenvale Leisure Centre for a superbly organised event and special mention to Rosie and Kenny who teach all the P5-P7 pupils during our weekly swimming lessons. 

Special mention to P6 pupil Nicole who had a week to remember representing Ballylifford PS. Being crowned U10 Irish Schools Champion in the Freestyle event last weekend and winning all her events today at the Gala. 

As a School community we are extremely proud of you all.
