Swimmingly as a Gala Occasion

Jeneva qualified to participate in the Top 8 Gala at her school yesterday, and in  spite of being a bit out-of-sorts she went like a bomb.

My great regret was that due to my health problems I was unable to watch. The trek to the pool is a fairly long one, and over uneven terrain.

She took part in every race for which she was eligible in her under-9 age group and achieved no lower than fourth in any of them out of eight swimmers; cheered on by a supportive sister.

Detailed results:

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY – SECOND;

5o METRE FREESTYLE – THIRD;

25 METRE BUTTERFLY – FOURTH;

25 METRE BACKSTROKE –  THIRD;

25 METRE BREASTSTROKE – FIRST;

100 METRES FREESTYLE – FOURTH.

These results gave her a medal for JOINT SECOND in the Gala.  I am one proud grandpoppy!
