Prep’s swimming success
The Prep Swimming team for 2014 has had a very successful season. They took part in five galas, going to Winterton, Gert Maritz, Northern Park, the Inter-Prep B Gala at Epworth and the Junior C Gala at St Anne’s. The U12 swimming relay team had a particularly good season as they were only beaten in two races. The swimmers in the team were Matthew Smith, Grace George, Kyla Gogle, Ross Fallet, Beth Van Onselen and Luke Doyle. At the Epworth B gala the Prep achieved a fifth position out of the nine teams competing and in the Junior C gala the swimmers came fourth out of ten schools. They won the gala at Northern Park. Coach Di Tanner remarked on the excellent team spirit that the swimmers exhibited, especially as the Prep has a smaller enrolment than some of the other competing schools.
