The morning butterflies were in our stomach as the bell rang. We shuffled into class with excitement and stress. Today, Tuesday the 22nd February 2011, we were going to have this year's annual swimming sports. We left the class and went to the court and waited for our drivers to pick us up to take us to swimming sports. We drove to Riwaka School where the swimming sports were held, and then the butterflies came back.
First, the open event where participants took part in a 3 length race. Backstroke, breaststroke then freestyle.
Second, the backstroke age events and then the best went into the Backstroke finals. Third, the backstroke and its finals.
Next, the butterfly demonstration where people showed their skills.
Then it was time for the freestyle and freestyle finals.

Next up were the relays where 5 teams (1 teacher team and 4 children's teams) took part in a 5 length race with their 5 contestants. The adults won that one.
The last event was the teacher carriers race where 4 students each held a leg of a chair with a teacher siting on it and raced down the pool.
Overall, everyone tried their best with Red House winning by over 200 points and then ending the day with a free swim. We all went home with huge smiles on our faces. :-)
