On Wednesday 2nd December 2015, children from four schools across the Dawlish Learning Partnership took part in the annual DLP Swimming Gala, held at Dawlish Leisure Centre.
Each school had a team of 12 children from years 4, 5 and 6.
Firstly, the children had to compete in individual events, including breaststroke, backstroke and front crawl, later followed by three relays where they worked as a team swimming a length each whilst holding onto balls and floats. The races were all very close!
The children all showed excellent sportsmanship and team spirit and were extremely loud when cheering on their classmates
Exminster came in first place, followed by Kenton, Gatehouse and Cockwood.
Well done to all of the children who took part and a big thank you to Dawlish Community College Sports Leaders and their PE teacher Mrs Dempsey for running the event.
