The gala was split into two events, Years 5 & 6 (Intermediate) and Years 7 & 8 (Senior).
During a very competitive afternoon of house swimming, no less than 12 school swimming records were broken.
In Year 5, the outstanding performer was Jasper for Phoenix who broke two school records in the 25m Breaststroke (22.46sec.) and the 25m Freestyle (17.22sec.). In addition he anchored the Phoenix team to victory and new school records in both the Medley (1:29.28sec.) and Freestyle Relays (1:19.93sec.). His team-mates in the relay consisted of Monty, Drew and Kayden. There were also fine performances from Tye, Jack, Freddie and Archie. While in the Years 6s, Alex (50m Freestyle) and William (25m Backstroke) showed their class by breaking school records in their respective events. Other outstanding performance came from Jonny (50m Breaststroke), Henry (25m Freestyle), Sasha (25m Breaststroke) and Christopher (25m Freestyle). Unicorn were the stand out team winning both the U11 Medley and Freestyle Relays. The team consisted of Tom, Alex, William and Harrison.
