On Saturday the CPS IAPS swimming qualifiers came together at the prestigious London Aquatic Centre host to the 2012 Olympics and Paralympic games, home for the many international swimming competitions and the 2025 finals venue for IAPS.
This year IAPS competition welcomed 292 schools nationally with 5,000 students competing for the top ranked 20 places at the finals.
IAPS is one of the most contested swimming arenas with CPS competing against many top swimming schools in the country so we are very proud of the team’s achievements.
The morning session started with the Girls events and Jessie H. who is young to compete in the U10 50 meters Butterfly category, she finished 20th overall nationally with a new pb time.
The Boys events were held in the afternoon where Will H. swam in the U11 50m Breaststroke category and finished 17th nationally with a competitive time of 44.85.
Rafi W. held his own in the Boys U13 50m Butterfly event and came 12th overall after dropping his qualifying time of 1.41 secs to finish with a time of 32.28.
Joey S. who is relatively new to this venue swam in the Boys U10 50m Breaststroke category and was placed 6th in his semi-final heat and then finished 7th place overall in the final with a time of 44.73.
This has been an inspirational experience for all the team who gained critical sporting prowess from this highly competitive environment and we congratulate them all for their massive commitment and effort to the sport. Well done.
