No one likes getting up really early, especially on a Monday morning. But all year that’s what our swim squad have been doing. At 7am each Monday, Wednesday and Friday they have been training hard in our pool before school.

POOL A
On Thursday our 5 fastest swimmers travelled to ISHCMC. Unfortunately after just 5 races the rain, lightning and thunder came down strong. As it was an outdoor pool, for safety reasons the swim meet was postponed. This will be rescheduled for after Easter.
A massive well done to all TX swimmers. Have a great holiday. Remember, practice starts again on Monday May 8th.
