On Wednesday, 1st April, our Heaton Swimming team headed to Parakiore for the CAIMS Swimming Championships. There was a buzz of excitement as our students stepped into the state-of-the-art facility, eager to compete in such a world-class environment.
The competition was fierce and the racing was fast. It was heartening to see our swimmers cheering each other on from the stands, turning those pre-race nerves into fantastic performances.
A huge thank you to Mrs Eames for her seamless management of the team, and to our wonderful volunteers—Jing, Spring, and Natalia—for their time spent officiating and timekeeping. Finally, a massive well done to everyone who competed.
