On Monday 2^nd January, St Michael's swimmers from Years 5 to 8 travelled to Walthamstow Hall to compete in the IAPS Qualifier.

The children swam fantastically well and their behaviour throughout the gala was a real credit to the school.

A special mention to Charlotte P and Ethan M from Year 4, who swam up an age group and bravely took on the challenging 50m Butterfly - a gruelling event that no Years 5 or 6 swimmers were willing to enter. Their determination and courage were truly impressive.

The U10 boys won both of their relay heats and the U11 boys and U12 girls also delivered very strong performances. Congratulations to Miranda H, Kayla F, Frédérique M and Chloe S who each won their 50m individual events; a fantastic achievement.

The swimmers were not only competing against those at Walthamstow Hall, but their times will now be ranked against schools from across the country. The top 20 swimmers nationally will be invited to compete in the IAPS Finals at the prestigious London Aquatics Centre (Olympic pool) on Saturday 6^th June 2026. The list of successful finalists is usually released in May.

We are incredibly proud of all of our swimmers for their effort, teamwork and sportsmanship. Well done!
