Distance swim test, Samuel swam 1 lap
Today, 7 September 2017, saw Esther, David and Joseph taking their distance swim test. Grace happened to be on off today and she joined them at the pool, with Samuel, too.
At 10:15am, they were briefed by the coaches/examiners:
At 10:20am, they took off:
Joseph was doing the 1500m (30 laps) test while Esther and David were doing 2000m (40 laps) test, all within 1 hour. They did their 800m and 1500m tests earlier in April 2016. While they were swimming, Grace had fun with Samuel in the pool.
After about an hour, here are the results:
Joseph was swimming breast-stroke along with 2 other boys who are 2 years and 4 years older than him. For 2000m, Esther was the only girl and David was the youngest. Esther took 5 minutes more than the 60 minutes (probably due to lack of practice in both swimming and running) while David completed the fastest (free-style all the way).
Last photo, very tired children after the long swim.
Last Sunday, Samuel swam an entire lap by himself, with no floats, and he did that twice!
