2018-02-18

During half term Maddie (Year 6) was at the London Aquatics Centre, home of the 2012 Olympic swimming competition, where she participated in the Surrey County Swimming Championships in the Girls 10-11 age group. She swam in the individual 50m backstroke and freestyle events on Saturday, and then on Sunday, swam backstroke in the 4 x 50m medley relay followed by the third leg of the 4 x 50m freestyle relay for Barnes Swimming Club.

The medley relay team won the silver medal and the freestyle relay team won the gold medal! Maddie found it an incredible experience to swim in the Olympic pool in front of large crowds, and a very special bonus to come home with a couple of medals.
