On Saturday 12th October, twelve pupils competed in the ISA London North Swimming Gala at the impressive Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre. All individual races were over 50m distances and sadly there was no time for relays as the late afternoon was devoted to secondary pupils. Two pupils narrowly missed out on medals, Seren coming 4th in the Year 5 breaststroke, whilst Benicio was 4th in the Year 4 backstroke but there were some notable successes and six medals were claimed – all by the same family!
Kaelan was 2nd in the Year 4 breaststroke and tied for the bronze in the freestyle. Kyran won the Year 6 breaststroke and came 2nd in the backstroke, whilst Kai won gold the two remaining Year 6 events, the freestyle and butterfly.
This clutch of six individual medals represents the best Avon House performance at the event and will culminate in the boys swimming for London North in the National Finals at the Olympic pool in Stratford on November 29th.
Good luck and well done to all who swam and represented the school so creditably on Saturday.
