Whangarei Intermediate's Swimming Sports!

On the 2nd of march Whangarei intermediate school held there annual swimming sports event. Everyone dressed in their team colours, danced and swam the whole day. Everyone had a blast.  There was races for year sevens and races for year eights.

Ready.....Set.......Go! The first race was  freestyle. The year eight girls were off! They were racing through the water, eager to get to the end first. There was screaming and chanting! The race seemed to fly by. Everyone watched the girls get out of the pool. They were extremely tired.

Next up was the year 8 boys race. Zooming through the water like fish, they completed the race. Once again it was freestyle. They then went on to the year sevens, completing the races in the same sequence as the year eights.

There was races for students who did not compete in the championship races. There were also Waka races.

Everyone was dancing and chanting. The day was a hit. The teachers and students blasted music from speakers and challenged each other to dance competitions. We had games and activities running. By the end of the day everyone (students, teachers and even parents) were all worn out.

 At the conclusion of the event, Team Kakariki had wiped out the competition.But at the end of the day, it didn't matter who had the most points just as long as we had fun.
