Today Lewis swam in his first Swimming Gala. The school arranged for the whole of Year 2, (4 classes of approximately 19 children in each) to compete in Front Crawl, Backstroke and finally the strongest four from each class completed in a Relay.
It was extremely well organised with all children swimming against those of a similar ability to the distance of 1 length or 2 widths of the pool. Timed practices have been taking place for weeks to sort them all out.
Lewis won his first race - 1 length Front Crawl. Then he came 4th in his 1 length Backstroke race. Finally was the relay and Lewis was to swim first for his team. Mummy and Daddy stood watching more nervously than the children competing. He got off to a flying start and handed over about a quarter of a length in front of the others - WOW. His team went on to achieve 2nd place so a great result all round.
Needless to say he has now gone to bed a very happy chap.
