Yesterday,KS2 children of Kippax Greenfields entered a swimming gala a the Kippax swimming baths. Greenfields battled it out against four different schools including: Kippax North, Kippax Ash tree,Allerton Bye-water and Great Preston.

Beginner swimmers competed in a series of races with floats and other tools to help them in their races.The more experienced swimmers dived into the action swimming one length or two lengths of breast stroke, back stroke and front crawl.There were relay race teams which included year three/four and five/six. Nine out of sixteen beginner swimmers' races were all in the top three.Reuben took first three times and a second. The top three places in fifteen out of twenty two races were accomplished by the stronger swimmers.Corey - who was in the year five and six boys' races - came third in his race even though he is only in year three.Also, Freya and Grace both came far ahead in their races.The relay teams came second three times out of the four races.

Everyone who volunteered thrived in each of their races.Overall Greenfields came second in the swimming gala.

Well done to the entire team!!
