Families who attend Airlie Swim School by Danielle went along to the third annual Swim Carnival last Sunday with over 60 children between the ages of four and 10 competing in a range of categories.
Held at Cannonvale Swim School, students demonstrated their skills in a range of styles including free-style, backstroke and breaststroke, swimming within their age-range and ability level to test their mettle against their peers.
For many this was the first opportunity to compete, and for others, this was a chance to return and exhibit what they had learnt all year.
“It was great to showcase what the kids have learnt over the last 12 months,” said swim school owner Danielle Shea.
“It was nice for them and their parents to see their progression and what they’ve been learning.”
Danielle said that competing in swimming races is an excellent way to build confidence and get experience swimming in a bigger pool.
First, second and third places received trophies, as well as the Most Improved, Encouragement and of course Swimmer of the Meet.
