The races began with a flourish of colour and chants on a beautiful summer day. Records were broken and a classic heart stopping finish to the Senior House Relay brought all the boys together to finish off the carnival! Following the carnival, the St Ives Swim Team have been training on Monday mornings, and our first ever diver, Theo Percossi (Year 3) has been preparing for the upcoming IPSHA meet.
Both relay teams set the standard and qualified in fifth (Junior Team) and second Sportsmaster Mr Brett Townley-Jones reports on how St Ives boys are enthusiastically embracing the swimming programme and achieving some notable representative results. Swim Season at St Ives (Senior Team) place.
It was a great way to get the boys pumped and ready! At the end of the 50m freestyle events, James McDonough-Smith (Year 4, U9) and Harry Ayer (Year 6, U12/13) qualified. As the day progressed, all boys worked hard to hit their PBs with great success, with Harry qualifying for the 50m Backstroke, Butterfly, 100m Freestyle and the 200m Individual Medley and James qualifying for the 50m Butterfly. Jacob Deere (Year 6 U12/13) qualified for the 50m Breaststroke, Butterfly and 200m Individual Medley. On top of this, Theo dominated the (U9) 1m Springboard competition and was placed first to progress to the CIS Swimming and Diving Championships.
