The day began at 8:30 a.m. with swimmers keen on competing in the 100 metres freestyle. Competitors eagerly followed this up with 50 metre freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.
Less confident swimmers were also given the opportunity to compete in a 25 metre freestyle and backstroke event, and were supported by volunteers from secondary.
Teachers gave a big thank you to the fantastic band of supporters who helped them on the day.
