Outstanding performances from every swimmer saw Walthamstow Hall come home with four gold medals and one silver from the Kent Secondary Schools’ Relay Swimming Championships.
This is the first major school swimming competition of the academic year and our teams faced a highly competitive and experienced field of Kent athletes, with many races won by the finest of margins.
Those representing the School:
| Junior Age Group: | Sophie, Isabelle, Chloe R and Chloe H |
| Intermediate Age Group: | Imogen, Tilly, Jess and Amelia |
| Senior Age Group: | Ruth, Maisie, Caitlyn and Sophie |
Results:
| Seniors (Years 11-13) | Kent County Champions and gold medallists in both Freestyle Relay and Medley Relay |
| Intermediates (Years 9 & 10) | Kent County Champions and gold medallists in Medley Relay and silver medallists in the Freestyle Relay |
| Juniors (Years 7 & 8) | Kent County Champions and gold medallists in the Freestyle Relay and fourth place in the Medley Relay |
Head Swimming Coach at Walthamstow Hall, Mr Richard Smith noted that many of the squad were competing at the lower end of their age category and said “Well done Team Wally.. it was a fantastic achievement by all who participated.” Mr Smith thanked all the parents for coming to support and cheer on the teams.
Mr Smith suggested the times posted should put Wally in a strong position for qualification into some of these events at the English Schools’ finals, to be held in November.
